Lil help remembering..

[Boosted92LX]

In one of our many threads recently about wheels, somebody, I believe it was 85_SS_302_Coupe pointed out a company that makes affordable BBS replicas, one in particular was the RK wheel I believe. Can someone please help jog my memory, the google musheen is nawt helping me, and forum search isn't panning out...

What is the name of the company??!!

Gah...i know the car that has them, isn't it that black coupe that's slammed? They look crazy expensive but they're not. I was looking into them but never bookmarked their site because they only come in 7 inch widths and i want wider. I'm interested though, hopefully i'll be picking up some kind of CCW replica rim in the spring.

I don't remember the car, but I remember you posting the name of a wheel company, and I googled them and remember thinking what a great deal it was.. And how much I like their wheels...maybe it was ccw replicas I'm thinking of? That ring any bells?

That's IT! THANK YOU! scraping together 5 lug swap stuff and trying to pick wheels.

Here's the car, i believe they're XXR 521's. http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml

In the end i think i passed on them because i want 17s and they're only available in 17x7 and i wante wider than 7 inches.

Wow now those are sharp!

Maybe this link works:

The 526 in chromium black gives me a chubby. It ought contrast my car sweetly!

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I'm very very tempted to run the bronze/polished 521s if i can somehow get them in at least 17x8.

 

[Vaz88GT]

I'd probably go 18's just for the hell of it

I don't see why not, the 526s are sold in 17x9 and 17x10.

It only shows them in 17x7 on this page

Looks like you'd have to go five lug and 18" for the 521s.

I was off some but glad to help boys !

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I'm likely going 5 lug too if i can get my ass into gear and do it over the winter.

Then again, i wouldn't be unhappy with some staggered bullitts either. Decisions decisions.

Bullitt are cool, but getting old imo. See them everywhere. These, not so much. I like them because they have the style of the SVE drifts or RTRs, but have the deep dish look that is oh so sweet...

Yeah i'm torn. One of my favorite wheels ever are the old magnesium bullitt style rims from back in the day. Then at the same time the road racer part of me lusts after something CCWish. I couldn't run just standard bullitts, but i've seen some that have a fat lip in back that i think would look great on my car.

 

[Vaz88GT]

I do like these

Would look good with the hot rod flatz im using

Where is the pricing?

Edit: Found a base price on ebay of about 350 a wheel

 

[hoopty5.0]

Yeah, pricing and dealers would be great.
