The first ones (xxr526) look sick! Almost a similar look to the FM10s from Fikse

unless you have a narrowed rear or you're getting them custom made, the offset is too low - they'll stick out a good inch past your fenders

either way, they look good

Ill be honest. I love deep dish wheels on a 4th gen. I came across these and thought man these would look good pretty good. I dont know too much about offset thats why I posted them to get feedback. Wheels do look pretty sick. Wish they could work on our cars.

On a side note, my god that 3rd gen looks amazing!

Those chrome ones look beast! I also love that big lip deep dish wheels on the 4th gens, the price isnt soo high either, I wonder if they can make them custom though that would be a good buy

everytime I search 5x120 on craigslist these pop up or the xxr 521 for around 500 and up. I mean the buy is very good indeed and if they were to customize the correct offset, I wouldnt mind buying a set.
