Rear will be flushed, front's probably a 5mm/10mm spacer will do. Depending how low you are and camber your pushing.

Okay sick of this "replica wheel" bashing ****

Cracked work wheel:


HRE:


Enkei:


Nissan/Rays:


Volk:


Notice I didn't include ANY pics of "accident" wheels- all of these are stress cracks. It happens in very high performance cars on even the most expensive of wheels. So please, put your foot in your mouth before you decide to start bashing non expensive wheels saying they are "prone to cracking".

It takes a lot of force to crack a wheel. Realize that most of your cars are daily drivers, keep them off of curbs and for the love of good don't drift on public roads with your car that gets you to work. So these XXRs will do just fine.

Hi, I have replica wheels, I commute 50 miles a day from Irvine to Long Beach, hit pot holes here and there, and I'm still alive.

Just for all the haters that think xxr and rota and whatever else is cheap read up and get your info straight before you go posting images of broken wheels, unless you know the story dont post them like you know how they broke. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gd-tires...eliable-2.html this argument has gone on for so long on so many forums, if you a person that doesnt like affordable wheel, good for you, go start a new thread an boast about your $2000-$3000 wheels, for the rest of us that wanna get wheels that are a third of that price and still quality wheels, we will stay on our way and not hate. Cause we know we don't have to.

i tried to look these wheels up and they only make them in black with chrome lip?

If I cant find them in all chrome than I will definitely have to pass.
