aidan Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Not many people running XXRs. My views on them where they'd be fine as I wont track my car. When delivered, was actually surprised...lighter than standard and the shadow chrome finish is really cool. Thought they dull down but the finish has lasted very well.......and I dont tend to clean wheels as much as I should. You'll be fine with brake clearance...but the sizes you state are very wide at the front. I have 8.75 (+20) front and 9.75 (+20) rear which slightly stretched tyres (you can never notice)......with a 10.25 rear you will be fine even with 275 tyres however reckon you'll be pushing it on the front with a 10.25, no mater what tyre you use. Thats nearly an inch out from mine, and you'll need to run bigger tyres to cope with width. In addition be careful on inner clearances s well. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the info buddy They do fronts but only 18x8.75. But i have 25mm front spacers aswell so that should help push them out and 30mm rear spacers aswelll if i need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I'd go with 8.75 fronts, they will be cheaper and you can use your spacers. I still think they will rub on outer arches with the spacers, but you can roll arches or take spacers off. With the 10.25s I'd be more worried about inner contact.

AliveBoy Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I've got a friend with some xxr's with a chrome finish, the car has been garaged its whole life and the chrome has still gone nasty after 6 months or so. XXR don't care as he imported them from the states, all of the painted areas are perfect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Shadow chrome on mine, nearly a year now outside, no hassles. Uk supplier. Did here when I had me Evo that earlier XXRs had quality issues - but all sussed now I reckon. Think OP was going with shadow anyway so shouldnt' be an issue.

LRF4N Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Nice wheels, do they do 19s? Think 19s would look better than 18s on a zed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y23DRH Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Nice wheels, do they do 19s? Think 19s would look better than 18s on a zed Sadly not only 18s or smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Will 19s be added in future? If not then how about the concave 5 spoke vossen wheels? Cv3's Also not keen on flat black myself, you lose all detail on the wheel design, may as well have steelies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y23DRH Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nice wheels any where in uk sell them ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Vossen are a fair amount more than XXrs tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yep not cheap but worth it I'm sure CS can get them if not b2autodesigns can ship them from the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I think the xxr will look alright get her sitting low a Tarmac sides and rears and a lip jobs a good'un 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 XXRs and Vossens cant really be compared? XXRs in 18s are 700ish, and OP can reuse his original tyres. Vossens (assume 19?) are more than double that price, plus OP would need new tyres. Worth it?? Lot of cash for an extra inch . Suppose if money was no object, then yes. But for me, couldn't justify 2.5k wheels n tyres on a 8k car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 although i agree with the above it is the reason the quality of the car scene in the uk is very poor compared to the likes of the Usa Canada Japan australia etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) to be fair....aftermarket part prices in uk are a rip off compared to yank prices.....which doesnt help the car scene Edited October 13, 2013 by aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 At 10.25 inch wide rears standard tyres won't fit. And I wouldn't pay 700 for 18s. That's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just my opinion Ah forgot about the 10.25 rim width...duh I was just going on what I fitted 8.75 front / 9.75 rear - so could reuse my tyres. And 700ish was a ball park figure.
