The reason i ask, I know there was a GB last year with a lot of takers.

I've now read numerous posts saying they are cheap rubbish.

Are they poorly made? Weak? Bad paint / powder coat finish on them?

I'm seeing quite a few sets of for sell and pondering on them.

They're to fit a classic so i know i'll need the rear arches rolled. Before anyones asks i need 18's to cover my brakes http://www.powerstation.org.uk/porsche_brakes.asp

Not sure what et i can get away with though

 

Had two sets of these mate, never had any paint issues or any trouble with them... Nice looking wheel, have to run coilovers, camber bolts, roll arches with a stretch tyre.. Not to everyone's taste and become really common... I wouldt buy another set as there's so many around now.

XXR's and Rotas are fast becoming the lexus lights of the modding world. Everyone who's fitted ABW arches is running them as the ET20-35 offset wheel market is limited.

I like the style of the 530's but would never get a set as theres just too many people running them + the mods involved mean a bucket load of work just to fit some wheels.

 

Utter sh1te and as type r says.
By far the worst thing I've ever bought for any car. Awful quality Ill fitting crap.

 

I think for the money they are spot on , mine are powder coated so no paint issues and they saw me through 2 lemans trips 2 Swiss Alps/pass trips and various hoons around and can't say i ever had any issues with strength or fitment etc ,

 

Will a set of XXR's even fit a non wide arch classic ??

 

I bent the original wheels on my 2012 STI through a bit of light abuse! A work mate that has a car in the British drift championship with xxr's on recommended them. So I put some 527's on and I haven't had any issues with them. They are cheap they cost a fraction of the price of the oz's I was going to get but they have been on for 2 years and they still look as they did went I got them but more importantly they aren't bent.

about that but

 

Paint is way better than prodrive pff7 which fat ginger had and rate them high.
He's talking sh8te as usually

 

have you been sniffing the magic trees at the car wash again??

firstly according to you pf7s were made by innovit which as usual is completely wrong
secondly the paint is utter crap and far better on pf7s which i dont have either but like the xxr s i have had in the past.

i speak from experience having had them not from a magic tree sniffing immicunt high

 

I thought all speedlines came powder coated from new...didnt realise they were just painted

 

Gents, thank you for your opinions and experiences As always it's much appreciated.

I think my attentions will be turned elsewhere, mainly because i don't want to have the modern day version of TSW Venoms

 

they are the new lexarse lights

 

Glad someone agrees

Im seriously considering some bbs ch alloys as i think they resmble the s204 wheels and i love that but since youve mentioned venoms ive realised they look like those too, im not so sure about them now lol

 

Lexus lights have always been ****. Xxr alloys aren't the best but IMO they look good.

 

sadly one is as bad as the other

 

TSW blades FTW

 

Nope TSW Phoenix!

 

Momo Arrow is coolest ever

 

xxrs are the new tsw pheonix, just remembered the three spoke beauties.

 

Nope Momo Ferrari with the red insets

 

Don't forget the Antera 109s.

 

Venoms

 

What ever happened to Wolfrace Voodoos

 

BK Racing 299's in Chrome!

 

/\ I HAD THEM!

 

You are kidding, love bbs ch, loathe tsw venoms.
Bbs are usually fitted to decent motors, tsw venoms are usually fitted to chav mobiles and are usually scuffed to fvck around the middle of the face where they stick out stupidly.

 

I was kidding, bbs ch are on the cards but im gonna need some pcd adapters to get them on ;-)
