Like the design of the 527, but the offset is weak and why the .75? no 1/2 inch sizes?

p.s. what's the weight?

so far no word on weights yet... hopefully people who buy a set will chime in... 527's are definitely tempting for spares.

I may buy some 526s for the street, then both sets of enkei wheels can be for track. Volk for the track is also looking good.

I'm guessing they will probably weigh a ton.

Not bad at all for XXR, props to them for stepping up their game.

I had XXRs for a while and the lip was VERY thin metal. They bent pretty easily and I got rid of them. Maybe they have stepped their game up but they bent too easily. I was actually polishing the lip with an orbital buffer and the buffer skipped and it dented the lip. A PADDED buffer bent the lip. F that.

I had the XXR 006s in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.

Maybe the 526 is an update to correct any issues. I see the 19" sizes are gone for now. That looks just like the 006 wheel but with lower offsets and better widths.

curious.. think its possible to remove that lip altogether? I mean, if a guy were to powdercoat them ... itd sure be nice to yank that thing off before they got sprayed.

All bronze.. mmmmm.

Im guessing because they figure people buy the 18s and 20s because there cheaper than 19s and people buy these because there cheap..figured noone could afford those and tires in there price range market there shooting for ..whats another $100-$125 extra on 19" tires?
