I'm looking for wheels for my gen 1.5 and i have a couple of styles picked out. The wheels im leaning towards are made by XXR. The problem i have is trying to pick out which one would look better on my car, the 006 model in black or the 502 machined. Please help any opinion is appreciated. Heres the link for the website. http://xxrwheels.com/wheels.shtml


.....If anyone has wheels for sale that look similar, PM me. :drinking:

Sarkis, I (well not me, my cousin who lives down the street) has some mesh wheels similar in style to the 006s. Big boy wheels, BBS RGRs. Only thing is, they're silver/polished:

I would love to be able to afford BBS wheels. But Im on a budget. I know BBS wheels are expensive. The XXR wheels are $570 out the door. (Local Pick up in La Habra)

Why didn't you make a poll Sarki?

Personally, i'd go for the 502's. I'd always like 5 spoke rims... not too many, not too little, just enough spokes.

Between the 006's or 502's, I think I'd go toward the 502's, but only because of the color. They'd look cleaner on your white gen 1.5 imo. Those wheels that Brian's got up there look really nice though.

Just in case you or anyone else is interested, here are the wheel specs:

BBS RGR
18x8.0
ET+40
5x114.3

I'd have taken them myself, but I like my WORKs a lot (and am the only owner), plus I'm trying to get somewhat aggressive with my offsets (I'm at +37 front, +27 rear right now, pushing for something like +30 front, +17 rear with the ability to still rotate tires)

i would agree with the majority of them that answered and go with the 502. but ultimately, its your decision since YOU are getting it for YOUR car. unless... you wanna buy those 502's for me. :]

My vote would have to be the 006 model for the obvious reason... My Sig. Not the black and red though. GL with your decision!
