What do you think about these wheels?
 
I saw some pics of a member's car on the evil forum, and I really liked these wheels, but at the same time, I want to hear other people's opinion on them.

The wheels are Xxr 002's in a 16x8 size with ) offset.

Here's the price: http://edgeracing.com/wheel/7724/

and here's pics: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...Picture009.jpg

and this one is my intial reason:

I'm also wanting a set of these wheels too, but they are HARD to find im my area, and I dont have the $$$ whenever I see some. They are also 16x8 mesh wheels.

From what I can tell, go with the meshies. However, a nice side shot would be good. I'm also a fan of mesh wheels like those, so I may be a bit biased. :D

The first look new/fresh/racy.
The last look old/too busy/plain.

My 83 had meshies but the middle was black with the rims polished AL. They were hard to keep clean. Go modern.

I like it!

too much like the wannabes (wantanabes). Not a fan. Get them if you like them though.

Phoenix7 06-05-2008 01:25 PM

Also, WTF is up with the skinny-ass tires on the wannabe-like wheels?? They don't look like they're 16x8s to me.

yah those would be sportmax wheels, which are all over ebay, as well as 240s hachis, and hondas. i think they still look good tho

hey that second car is maxpayne's car I think he might be selling those rims now he got some new ones before sevenstock if your still looking I'd ask him about them.

Max777 10-29-2008 08:39 PM

I think I might need to rebuild my engine so I dunno.

Nah man, keep the stock lightweight BBS meshies!

Here are mine without center caps and with 225/50/15's.

From the back. Look wider than the rubber on those first pics.

looks good...you can find nice grippy tires in 15" forms and it's cheaper per tire. Keep them for a spare set of track rims or something.

at first I like the first style... and second glance naaaa...

meshies are great.. I wish I would have kept my bbs off my vert before I sold it.

Flooder 11-01-2008 06:10 PM

Eh, I'm not a big fan of wantanabe style wheels. But if you're looking for a good deal on them I can hook you up.

bop_rocco 02-16-2009 04:56 PM

The ones in the first pics look best

It's Watanabe.
