XXR Wheels Anyone!!??

[TheGimp711]

I have purchased a set of the wheels before for my old GTI and loved them! They are super light and quality and finish were great. They just released a new style "521" and I think they would look awesome on a mustang. They also have several different options of the same wheel which is nice.
Would like some input from you guys!

My car is a 02 Sonic Blue GT and was looking at the black with polished lip or even the flat black in 18x8.5 and 18x10:thumbsup:

Here is a link to some pics and pricing:

These wheels also only weigh 22.25lbs for the 18x10's! A Saleen 18x10 weighs 34lbs and a FR500 18x10 weighs 32lbs! Thats HUGE!

Nice! I think those would look awesome on your car.

hahah did you have your old VW so the lips stuck out way past the tire...always loved that look LOL

no seriously though, go for it.....i like when guys put different wheels on. If the weight savings is legit...i think its a win win

I would however stay away from black....black will severly diminish the unique sonic blue color..i'd recomend silver...but just my .02 cents

 

[TheGimp711]

Thanks for the input...I would consider silver...Im hopefuly going to be ordering a set by the end of the month so I need to figure out a color!

Hmm, I actually like these! Looks like a more affordable TF wheel almost. The only thing I dont like is the universal lug pattern..

How hard do you think it would be to get different centercaps?

Those are some DAMN good prices to boot! Good looking wheel..the BBS style will always be timeless.

Any idea how these would sit with the offsets they give? And would you want a 30 or 40 offset for the 18X8.5's for the fronts? Thanks for any help!

These will be the wheels I put on my Sonic Blue '04.

Thanks for the find OP!

Color

Black
Bolt Pattern

5-114.3/120

thats the info I got for the rears off the website.

 

[TheGimp711]

and they come with a +30 offset and 1.75" lip for the 18x8.5 for the front! So they should fit real nice on a mustang!

If people are interested in purchasing some I can call NLMotoring and see if we can get a discount if multiple sets are purchased. PM me if SERIOUSLY interested. I would be looking to purchase towards end of this month or early sept...

The 18'' black/polished lip would look perfect on my friends GTI. I'll have to send him a link.

 

[Lstruck03]

from the generic photos on the website, i cant tell if i like them or not.. but i do like the price, and the weight!

Someone needs to get a set on a sonic blue new edge! or photoshop. lol

While they may look nice and be light, they're cast, and that means they will bend or crack. Only a matter of time.

 

[TheGimp711]

I did speak with NLMotoring and they said that they could give us some kind of a discount if a few sets of wheels purchased but told me to call when wheels were ready to be purchased to discuss availability and discount....

I should be buying a DSG Mach within the next week or so, so if the deal goes through Ill be looking to buy the 18X8.5 and 18X10's in flat black VERY soon after. Any idea what kind of prices we're talking?

I'm thinking the 18's on my 03 Cobra would be SUH WEET! Thanks for the link!
