Picture Request: FC with XXR 522s

I was browsing Ebay Motors and saw these. Just wondered if anybody had gotten them and has any pics. Thanks

If the outer face of the spokes didn't poke outward so much they would be pretty decent looking wheels.

yeah the spokes actually stick past the the outer lip by about 1/4 inch. not exactly my favorite but i'm hoping some 275 tires will cover that up a bit. plus just maybe the spokes will move more air over the caliper. I'm boiling my willwood 600 brake fluid every other event.

I've lost count of how many time i've fixed it. I even heated it up and put a clamp on it this winter to see if it'll hold it's shape straight, as soon as it got warm enough to put some double tape on, i released the clamp and it went right back to that bent shape. next step is to take it right off, melt it until it's straight, then bolt it onto the car.

Have you looked at the new XXR 527's? 17X8 +25 and 35.. might also be a good option if you like the style.

I like both sets of rims. Those are pretty cool. Where did you get those bolt-on flared fenders?

i suggested my friend to pick up some new XXR 521for his lexus
http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml * I could have sworn they had better size than 17x7, just gotta find them on the net somewhere



I cant say xxr is a knock off because they look like their own designs. Which isnt bad imo. Im just not a fan of the 962 wheels, i recall those being heavy.

I think the 527 will look good on FC, good sizes too

Is or is not a knock off? Those 522's look like they are trying hard to be Gullflame Gravity wheels. Which, on a side note, are silly awesome.

Sorry to thread jack a little, but am I right in assuming that 17X8 +25 on all four corners would sit pretty flush with min or no fender work?

Macking Industries wont even wholesale/ supply the Volks to companies that sell the varrstoens

whats funny about this site is some wheels dont even look like the real ones.

If I were to get xxrs they would probably be the 527s. They look the best imo.

They look really good with that deep blue.

@ Mac: I have to agree with you on that. They look epic. Do you have a set?

plain white fc: I dont, although I wouldn't mind owning a set. Maybe later down the road when they aren't marked up due to demand.
