Nlm carries the worst tire selection I've ever seen though

now maybe if Primax can effing keep up their supply. I quit dealing with XXR a year ago because they were always stupid backordered.

The rivets, tabs or whatever those nubbs are ruin what could have been a real nice wheel IMO. Each to their own though..

WorldRallyBlueBRZ 11-06-2013 07:35 PM

Im not a fan of those rivets either. Other than that i like the wheel. just thought i would share it since i saw them pop up on my Facebook newsfeed

They should do the 18x9.75 in +35 offsets!! To please the non stance crowds!

Wheels are sex.

But rivets ruin it, and add unnecessary weight. :(

Agree.

My plan is buy rims from nlmotoring with next sale, go to DiscountTire and have my TPMS transferred over to new tires.

I think their next big sale is black friday. Last year the wheels were really cheap.

I would love to get a set of wheels but my first mod will have to be my exhaust..I had a little run in with a big rubber car block, and it bent my exhaust so i will be handling that soon

I'm a fan. They remind me of work emotion but not so close as to be knockoff. As far as the rivets go, I can spray them to blend in so not really an issue for me. These are also some of the lightest wheels I've seen from xxr. 17x8.25 at 17.6lbs. I'm pretty much sold as long as there aren't any issues finding good rubber. Not sure if the odd width affects selection.
