Right from their website.. I have the most aggressive offset they make.. I'm not an idiot and can measure if you still don't believe me.. that 5.25 is a different offset than mine..

What are you basing that off of? The fact is XXR can turn a profit selling their wheels for $100-$200. That says something about production costs.

The fact that I had a few sets of xxr wheels and never had them break. A gut up the street from me drives the same roads I do and and has varrstoen te37 knock offs and the whole inner part of the barrel has crack and are ready to explode..

so you're basing it off of two uncontrolled variables. hmm.. ive only ever had a set of xxrs and that was on my s13 when i was 17. back then they were called sportmax wheels. and yes, they were crappy wheels.

crappy wheels break at their limit, not bend. crappy wheels are heavy. crappy wheels do not absorb impact. crappy wheels, are crappy.

for the money and the imitation styling, though, i can see why many buy them.

Look to the left. Maximum offset has a 5.5" lip. Those 20x11 listed on the list are +15.. +13 you have to order and have a 5.5" lip.. but they said none available until next summer if they make them anymore. The lady I talked to when I went to order 2 more said they have too many new styles coming out they might not have the time.

Your sample size of 1 person not having their XXR wheels crack/bend doesn't do anything to change the fact that they are cheaply manufactured in china. Why are knockoffs being compared to each other anyway? Its not like anyone gets them for their quality.

So I did plan on getting the XXR 962 but is the quality that bad? I think they have a nice look, but the way it seems here Is that they'll break on first impact??

Exactly. So what does quality matter if it breaks or you curb it its a 100 for a new one or quality for 1000.. xxr are made in like Thailand but owell they are not as bad as rota crap don't care what anyone says..

I've been on Rotas for over 4 years on street and autocross. My rotas are not cracked or broken. The previous owner put mileage on them as well. I don't see why you're saying rotas are crap.

I'm no rota fanboy, but they've been quality wheels in my experience. For what it's worth I just bought some RPF1s as an upgrade for the track next year. No problems with my rotas other than I wanted a 10.5" rear and the lightest wheel I could get.

Here's a pic of my Z with XXR 522's. The sizes are 18x8.5 +5, and 18x9.5 +5.Offsets achieved with spacers. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. 215/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rears. I bout the car with them on, and figured i'd keep them until I had enough money for some legit wheels. Added some spacers and mild stretch on the tires. Not the best wheels ever, but they look decent.
