Which Wheels Should I Get?

[green_machine]

I have a 2010 Lancer ES Sport. Pics on my profile. Im debating 2 different types of wheels which are:

XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 in lemon lime

Or

Sparko Assetto Gara 18x8 +45 in green

Help me figure this out please!

[jpalamar]

They look almost identical... but the thinker spokes look nicer to me.

[Scapegoat]

second one

[green_machine]

yea they are almost identical lol. im not a fan of the double bolt pettern in the xxr's

[HatchSurfer3]

Pretty similar wheels it seems. I know the XXR's have a bit of concave to them (I'm not sure if it starts at a certain width or not), but I like that a lot. Not sure if the Sparco's have that.

[elff]

Both look similar enough that I would suggest that you go with the Rim that can later allow for a bigger caliper [If you have that in your future plans]

Yea im so torn with these 2 grr

[Shipman]

I like the first better

[Artemy]

the first ones would look better on the lancer because the second set looks kind of plain. the body of the lancer has more lines and curves in it and would fit better with the first set of rims

[igo4bmx]

i'd say first ones since they will fit your wheel wells better (+35)

[schaffer]

Take into account cost and availability in case you screw one up.

[CleanNeon98]

I like both, just not color lol

[green_machine]

True
Take into account cost and availability in case you screw one up.
and yea but they are around the same cost like $10-$20 difference
Thanks guys for all your input

[Erik@R/TTuning]

I like the XXRs better for your car. That said I am picking up the Sparcos for my own car this spring in bronze I think.

[AutobahnRacer]

I like both, just not color lol

Agreed.

Yea im liking them better too now all i need are coilovers :/

Agreed.
I love the color lmfao.

[lownslow95]

Evo x wheels.

/thread.

[speed3guy]

Cars black right?? The xxr's will stand out more on your can IMO. go with those

[fatal1]

The style looks nice I like both as far as that goes, I know sparco is made by OZ so it is definitely a more dependable wheel. I am not a fan whatsoever though of the dayglo wheel trend so I'm not a fan of either color lol.

[Dilley]

xxr's :thumbup:

[green_machine]

No EvoX wheels haha. And I've always been a fan of bright colors in general. I'm not doin it because of a trend. I was originally going to go with flat black but then my bf found the xxr's and I fell in love. And I guess xxr it is.

[lownslow95]

I just don't like bright colors, but that's just me.

[OutToWinPAHC]

be cool buy some legit ass wheels

[boosted R]

I'd go with the first one

[01bb6er]

This...

And if you like bright colors just get the wheels powder coated whatever color you want

[fightinchunk]

almost everyone and their mother is going with the xxr's.

but that would also get my vote... have seen too many cars look way awesome with these fairly concave wheels.

[blue91lx]

Meh.

Too many people go with XXRs.

[jesus_ralliart]

i like neither. sorry

[Chunk11289]

The Sparco's look better at the hub area to me, then the double pattern of the xxr's

Yea i know alot of people have them i just love the color of the xxr's but not many people have sparko's

This...

Why would i spend $700 on rims then get them powder coated?

I just don't like bright colors, but that's just me.
Yea haha everyone has there own preferance

[OutToWinPAHC]

on that 700 bit he was referring on my leget comment so maybe 700 a wheel

[J240]

I'm a fan of the XXR's but just because I plan on getting the same ones just in chromium black. I like the concave look that they have.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Well I got some to trade in that color.

[01bb6er]

In some cases wheel companies tend to charge more for a certain color or coating. So I was just thinking if they are extra for a crazy color, why not just get a basic bronze, gunmetal whatever and then with powdercoat you have thousands of colors to choose from. And to make them your own. I spent $1500 on mine and took them apart, then they went right to my powdercoater

Agree the hub looks better on the Sparcos but if you ever want to resell them the XXR's will fit more cars so it might be easier to sell in the future.

[AWD GS]

agreed. do it right the first time

that could be said about the majority of aftermarket wheels, not just XXR's

[green_machine]

Well I got some to trade in that color.

Word? really?

[jesus_ralliart]

all i know is... if you get green wheels you can sell the car for 20k....easy

[green_machine]

Funny

[c7scayman]

Just because I never heard of XXR and Sparco is a huge well known brand, I am going to go with Sparco.

[OutToWinPAHC]

On a side note I have those XXR's for my all trac... not bad looking sportmax/xxr is has come a long way over the last few years.

[green_machine]

I'm gonna go with the sparcos :)

[elff]

Post Pics when you get them mounted

[aka So Fresh]

[green_machine]
