Good thing there are only 3 people allowed to have these rims. I guess I'll just wait for one of them to sell so that I can get into the elusive club! People it's a appearance modification, meaning people are going to to see something and like it. I suppose that I should get on the task of buying my own machine to cast wheels..since no one are allowed to have the same haha

Its all cool bro, I think Fitz was semi-joking. You make valid points but it's all gravy and yes while there is a lot of pissing and moaning going on here we have a choice whether to come here or not and if we chose to do so then we don't have to post. I mean I'm agreeing with you about it, cause there is a lot of bickering on here. But lets all agree XXR make nice wheels, Varrstoen make nice wheels. The price tag is just a piece of paper with a number on it, doesn't make them any better.

All matter of preference anyways so. I like both

xxr wheels are the best bang for the buck wheel out imho....... they got a decent finish and seem to hold up just fine to the abuse i have put them through. even hit a few pot holes that were unavoidable with no damage. the dont compare to a good quality wheel like ccw, volk or some of the other good brand though.

Damnit. It looks so damn concave and spacious though. I'm thinking to grind the brakes a little if it comes close. If not, I guess I gotta get the spacers and make the hub centric. Swapping rims like this is a pain in the ASSSSS. I'm just hoping it works out easy once they're redrilled. update is that by the end of next week I guess.

You shouldnt need to grind the brakes down, Spacers work just fine for every day use. Hub centric rings can cost about $10 on ebay. I wish I could find some pics of the tightness of the wheel and the brembo.

You're on 17's as well. I have the 18x9 so I'm hoping it will fit nice even with the 35 offset.
