I decided against the Rota Torques and I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of XXR 530's in 18x8.75 just due to price and shipping. I found them in stock in Canada for $800 freight/tax in with lug nuts and hub centric rings. The Rotas shipped would have come out to $1200 for just the wheels.

Has anyone had any experience with XXR Wheels? I know the saying "you get what you pay for" but a lot of guys seem to be running them and they look good.

they are fine but be wary of the offsets.... people out there are settling for offsets in the +20's and that doesn't make any sense for our platform

I'll be going with +35 and running 235/40 tires I think it should be a good fitment but I'll have to get camber bolts as well.

He has the 527's, I think I will go with the 530's (looks like the Rota Torque)
I can't decide which finish though, flat black or chromium black.. hmmmm

Some cars I see with the 527's look so good too.. ahhh I can't make up my mind! Maybe I should get 2 sets

From what I understand, those springs plus a rear shifter bushing like the ones we already have and we will get super smooth shifting. Negates most arguments to go to a short throw shift kit in our cars.

I have the kartboy shifter, positive shift bushing and mtec springs. Night and day difference! There is absolutely no slop anywhere and its very precise and natural in the way the shifter moves
