OK so i've been wanting to change up the wheels on my steed, IMGP0848.jpg

Its between these two wheels.
xxr 521, 20 x 10.5, +30
52100142-2T.jpg
xxr 006, 20 x 10, +35
00600142CP-2T.jpg


I know the stepped lip of the xxr 521 will make the wheel look a lot smaller but it's a good looking wheel, I really like the copper liped rims because it's different but i'm afraid the colored lip will be played out soon. Oh and what size of spacers should i be looking at for those specs of rims, Currently i have 25mm all around on 20 x 8.5 +38 and it looks pretty good. Just need some opinions! Thanks as always

On second look, I didnt realize they were 20's You're gonna have to go all black, otherwise they're gonna look too small . . & that's not an option
 
I prefer the second one, 006, with less, more opened spokes and the rivet-less design. Maybe you can get it with chrome or black lip? Maybe 22s are the way to go? Either one you choose, it's going to look small, stepped lip or not.
 
I looked into those before going with SSR. They are inexpensive and not bad quality. The 006 lips will chip if not cared for, my friends red lips chipped because he was careless with them.

The 006 is available in 20x10 +35 which is pretty good, not quite flush but not too shabby.

The 521 is available in 20x10.5 +30 which is even better IMO.

I prefer the 006 with either the blue or red lip. Copper lip is cool, but isn't my cup of tea (but its your FX so do what you like).
The 521 can be had with the optional gold, red, blue, chrome, or gloss black rivets. Anything but the chrome rivets.

Both sets can probably be had for under 800 shipped on ebay. Contact the seller for non staggered sets.
 
I like the xxr 06 without the copper lip. Why copper, nothing on your ride is copper. Polished, black, sliver or chrome will work with your ride much better in my opinion. Are you considering a step up on size? 22s is the way to go. You will need a drop if you decided to go with 22s though. I think your 25 mm spacer with work with both wheels. I have 25mm spacer on all corners with my 22 x 10.5 +40 offset. My setup is perfect flush front and maybe 3 or 5 mm past the fender in the rear. Be mindful about how the tire seat flush with the fender is also depending on the side wall profile of the tire you're putting on as well.
 
second one, and do something different with the lip dont do chrome played out... yellow? red, or whatever just not chrome
 
Obviously I say go with the Kilis. They ain't steered me wrong yet!! I'd use some wheel spacers with them though. I have the 22x9 Kilis in matte black with 25mm spacers all around and it looks absolutely amazing!! (IMO at least)
:smug:
 
Dr. Ford, your wheels are my inspiration what I am leaning towards Kilis. Called around to many major wheel places and majority of them are out of them for months.
