Default XXR 527 Wheels

What do you guys think of this wheel in flat black? The closest fitment available is a 18x8.75 with a 35mm offset. Lovin' the style and price ($125) but I think it might be a little too wide and the offset too low. I don't mind if it sticks a little bit out of the fenders but I don't want it to look ridiculous. Think it's gonna look ridiculous? If so what are some similar wheel styles around the same price range?

XXR 527



This EVO is so f&$#ing sexy I want to have it's children. If the wheels don't work on my Koup maybe I'll just sell it and put them on this.



And I borrowed this pic from Jealouslover who's using a 19x8.5 XXR 518 wheel with a 43mm offset. This looks flush and is acceptable to me. A 8.75 width and 35mm offset isn't gonna push it out that much further will it?



Thanks in advance for your guys' input!

The 43 MM offset id further out from the center than the 35 mm offset which means the 43 mm will be tucked in more. 43mm -35mm= 8mm so the out side edge will stick out 8 mm further. One inch is about 25.4 mm so you are looking at sticking out just a little more than a quarter of an inch, from the 43 mm offset.

So after the offset you just described plus it being a 8.75 width vs. the 8.5 width in Jealouslover's picture I'll be sticking out about half an inch more then his? It doesn't sound like much but I want it to look perfect. Wish I knew someone around here with that wheel so I could try them on.

So I've decided these aren't really gonna work. I'm running a 18x8 with a 35mm offset and these are 18x18.75 with a 35 offset. I'm super flush right now and don't wanna stick out another inch.

I just went on a hike and am too lazy to search for anything. Tell me other wheels that are similar peoples!

I'm an OZ fan, but they're too expensive. (ultraleggeras)

They'll fit, they'll just stick out some. I'll be finding out soon.
