Ugh, please don't buy XXRs...there are sooooooooo many better looking wheels out there that look and perform better.
And don't get RPF-1s too, like everyone and their grandma? ;) I kid... great wheels are great... and ubiquitous, LOL
 
I've had my XXRs for over a year now with much abuse..

I'm not saying they're bad wheels Patrick, more so that they're ugly (IMHO) and have weird sizes hahaha. I have personally had two set of XXRs myself, though not on the Speed. That was before they started with the funky sizes in 1/4" and 3/4" sizes as opposed to standard sizing. Shit, one set of my XXRs was before they were even called XXR and were called Sportmax...who else here remembers that? Haha.

RPF1s are slightly overplayed, but damn they look good on so many different cars.

@MR2Speed

You don't have rubbing issues in the rear? My gen 1 has serious rear end sag, and my shit rubs way too much and I'm only running 18x7.5 +35 offset with camber adjustment and fender roll.

No, stock height right now. Started to roll one side. And my buddies fender roller broke. So far have hit a lot of bumps. And don't rub.
 
Would any of you guys know the offset i would need for a 15x10 in the front? I am trying to come up with a drag wheel setup.
 
If I remember correctly, a 16 inch wheel is the smallest you can run up front because of brake clearance issues.
I think I have seen where Justin and Shaun both run 15x10. They may have swapped brakes to the normal 3 brakes though. I'm just not sure.
 
Anyone running white on white? I've always wanted the gunmetal TSW Nürburgrings, but there's a set of white powdercoated ones locally on craigslist that caught my eye.

Gotta like washing your car to do that. A lot...

Seriously I have enough trouble keeping the stock wheels looking decent. Not saying it wouldn't look great just not sure I want to detail white on white all the time.

Of course OPT No Rinse has made things easier as of late.
 
For sure it would be a pain to keep clean, but I'm already at the car wash at least once a week anyways...

I'm gonna look into that no rinse stuff, might save some trips to the self serve car wash.
 
This my be old but I cant find the answer anywhere. Where do you get mazda center caps from Evo 10 wheels. The gen2 center caps are too small.
 
New setup. 17x9 +45 enkei tenjin, with 255/40/17 Ventus rs3. 12mm spacer up front to clear the bc coilovers.

Joined the RPF-1 gang and couldn't be happier. They're popular because they're great wheels!
