XXR Wheels? Good deal or just cheap crap?

haha yess! But the fact that it didn't break. you know that's quality.

i have a friend that drove on a Work wheel for 5km after the tire blew off. he litterally drove ON THE WHEEL. got home, balanced it, drove on it like nothing ever happened

It's better than a shattered wheel. Lol. At least you'll still have control of the car with a bent wheel.

You know, as much as I'm a proponent of forged, light-weight wheels, that Evo had to have hit something. I find it almost impossible to believe he was just driving along like a normal person and the wheel just grenaded on him like that.

he was probably racing and hit a wall or something

Definitely not caused by driving 35mph.

235mph maybe

That's a fast Evo. Never go 235 on XXRs. Lol.

safest thing is get like 18x11 + 12 wheels. stretch 165/50/18's on it! Camber 10%. Drive 2 km/h hope the tires don't fly off

It's probably much safer than donked cars with 30" wheels, 4-bolt pattern, and stock brakes.

yep true.... i still have $8000 in brakes in my garage waiting to go on my civic hahaha

 

[webby]

what brakes?

 

[AlienPrime]

6 piston Brembo superturismo calipers for front
4 piston Brembo superturismo calipers for rear
14" front slot vented disks
12" rear slot vented disks. would be baller. stop faster than a Ferrari F430. plus i made a ABS bypass switch haha. when i get my 18x9 +25 volk/rays i think these brakes should fit haha

 

[Dar-Dar]

I don't think that was mentioned in your build thread. Lol.

 

[AlienPrime]

not installed they don't fit. there is a whole thread about it on 9thgc

lol everyone laughed at me for putting them on and the wheel didn't even come close to clearing the 6 piston calipers hahaha

 

[JAYBLS]

I was wondering if you still had those. I saw your post about it on the other forum. I'm thinking about a big brake kit up front, but certainly not the 6-piston setup, just the 4 will be fine for me, if I even end up doing it at all.

 

[Dar-Dar]

Lol. 6 piston calipers to stop a 2700-2800lb car?

think about it... it's like $3400 for 4piston fronts or $3800 for 6 piston fronts.....

if your going that route, spend the extra $400 hahahaha

yes. works really well. stop way later into the corner.... have grippy tires... dominate everyone on the track

Along with 5 point seatbeats. lol.

it doesn't matter how fast you drive or at what road condition, the point is, if your rims or tires fail on you... are you able to stop the vehicle safely.
