Although I have Volks on mine, I really like those XXR wheels, especially the step lip and different choice of rivet colors. Great job on the red lug nuts too. My first set was the XXR 502's and they were well worth the money.

Who cares

It's your car... who cares what other people think. Cheap is relative to who's buying them anyways. Someone that's cheap would of left them stock...

Honestly, XXRs for the win.

They have a bad rap cause theyre real cheap and are mainly bought and sold on ebay, but i never had a problem when i ran them and still havent seen any issues from other people with them

you get a from me.

The number 1 issue with wheel selection is the look....the right look for your modding theme. The price doesn't matter if you find the right look. Often times it takes spending big bucks to get the right look but these days many companioes are making wheels that look like they are high end. Paint schemes help a lot as well.
Since the only advantage to forged wheels is lighter weight, that point is decreased significantly since hardly none of us races their car.

What trips me out is when some people put others down who buy lower cost wheels. It also trips me out that some people spend 5K on wheels than buy the cheapest quality tires they can find.

This is so true. Wheels can make/brake a well modded car. And they really give it a unique look as well

replace the wheel cap and people won't notice that it's XXR. I like red lug nuts. they stand out on black.

find.
Wheel weight also played a huge role in braking distance and brake pad life as well as fuel economy. So racers are not the only ones that notice a benefit from light weight wheels.

Those wheels do look good I have noticed that particular wheel is becoming very popular recently.

Something most people don't realize...
Loosing 30 pounds by taking out the spare tire, jack etc. for example, is not gonna make alot of difference.
Loosing 7.5 pounds of unsprung suspension weight per corner (wheels/brakes etc.) is huge and improves handling.
