I'm partial to those (LOLBIAS), but if the man has a problem with Enkei money, he ain't payin WedsSport money.

Not from the factory but I hope they do one day. Rota Titans (TC105N replicas) come in gold 17x8 +45.

If there's enough demand, I'm sure we can get something done...

Enkei has more pedigree than XXR. Enkei also has more original wheel designs. But just go with whatever you prefer on your car. It's your car and your money.. you drive your car on a daily basis, might as well make yourself happy about it.

I like them both just wondering about both brands and if the gold will fade etc

XXR is a replica brand, similar to Varrstoen,

m.box.design · 08-23-2013, 02:14 PM

i'm biased, so i'd say go for the enkeis. i'm not sure how the finish holds up on xxr's, but i've seen drifters around here use them with no issues.

hanabie · 08-23-2013, 02:15 PM

Go with XXR! Cheap and better specs for the twins. Enkei is way more reputable than XXR.

bkblitzed · 08-23-2013, 03:09 PM

why not rota?

ZionsWrath · 08-23-2013, 03:26 PM

I've hit a couple serious potholes here in NY and no apparent damgae with my Enkei. Never had XXR so can't compare. Last wheels on last car were Kosei brand and same deal, although they were 50 series sidewall so more protection, no damage.

Comparing Enkei's ($250-350 per wheel) to XXR's ($125-200 per wheel) is a subjective comparison. Like if money did not matter, which would you choose. My wheels first had to fit in my budget, then look like I wanted. I wish I could just buy parts based on weight and quality.

SortaFlushed · 08-23-2013, 04:50 PM

Lovin them xxr's brotha

m.box.design · 08-23-2013, 08:03 PM

frankly, i'd rock rotas over xxr if i was on a budget. more designs/finishes/offsets to choose from, especially since they copy the most popular designs.
