Caliaccord02 · Jul 2, 2015

Anyone have any opinions on these rims? Americas Tires is also have a deal on rims also so i was looking into these. I was going to order xxr521 on saturday but these rims dont look to bad for the price...$558 plus $100 prepaid visa.So $458 for rims. Let me know what you guys think.

The link doesn't work for me. It's not a bad style wheel, though drastically different from the XXR 521. What finish are you looking at? I ran Drag DR-9's when I had my accord and never had a problem with them.

Im looking for a flat black finish. I know they look completely different but i really like both styles. Not sure which I like better.

With those rims, it's heavily dependent on the wheel size and offset. Bigger wheel and lower offset will increase the lip size. If you just go with, for example, 17x7.5 there will be very little lip.
If a bigger lip depth is more important, I would go with the xxr521's. Otherwise to get a bigger lip you have to run a lower offset and need spacers.
I test fit a handful of americas tire wheels and if you google the wheel on other cars you'll see what I mean.

I already know about the sizes and everything. The xxr521 will only have a 1.5 inch lip, I was just asking for your guys opinions because i like both syles. Both wheels will most likely be sunk because the high offset an the width of the wheels,going to run spacers later on. Just want some opinions.

I like the 521's better, but I have a dislike for te37 style.

Oh, and:

In that case, I would go with the xxr-521 just based on looks. If the offsets and wheel sizes will be similar, I think the xxr-521 will look better. Just my opinion though. However, I've never owned them. I do own Drag-dr31 in silver and I like them. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all your guys opinions. After careful consideration I am going with the drag wheels. I love the xxr521 wheel but the lip is a little too small for that style of rim for me and im not willing to do a 5 lug swap to get a bigger lip like the picture above. Americas Tire deal is too tempting to pass up. 4 falken g4 tires and 4 drag dr35 rims for $870 plus I get $295 back on a prepaid visa. Im basically getting a new setup for $570. Ill have some pictures up. tomorrow so you guys can see how they look. The $295 im getting back will also allow me to purchase coilovers sooner. Thanks again guys!!!
