XXR 522's Ordered!!! :D
I just thought i'd post a thread letting everyone know that I finally ordered my rims yesterday!! Wooo!
They're Bronze XXR 522's. 18x9.5 with +25mm offset.
Ordered them from Enjuku Racing on black friday so i got 15% off! Costed me $560 shipped.
I'll post before and after pictures as soon as they get here, hopefully it wont be too long! Especially cuz I only live like 3 hours away from Enjuku Racing in FL
....Damn, I shoulda picked them up instead of shipped them

Also you should have ordered from nlmotoring.com because you paid about what the rims are worth so you really didn't get a big discount. They probably raised the price and then took 15 percent off of that and then told you it was a discount.I'm not hating by the way I just got my xxr's 527 going to install next week.

O ok yea you must live pretty far I got my rims for 572 shipped. Just didn't want you to get ripped off glad you did some research. I curious as to what bronze looks like on a black car because I was thinking about the same color. But than I decided to murder my tc.

So I finally got in contact with Enjuku Racing after 4 days of unanswered phone calls. I e-mailed them thismorning and they finally e-mailed me back. They said that they are out of stock of the XXR 522 Bronze, so I changed my order to the gold ones, which is fine. My only concern is that I hope the Gold doesn't look ricy with my black tC. That's the reason I bought the Bronze over the Gold in the first place!
Hopefully Enjuku ships them out soon, because they are stupidly hard to get in contact with. So far not too empressed with Enjuku

That blows. The bronze 527's was my first choice, NLM did not have them in stock when I had the dough to buy them. I have been considering sending my wheels off to be refinished in bronze, maybe next summer. Black ride + bronze wheels=
Just curious, did you check the weight of the 522's? They are kinda' heavy.

Yea they're something like 3 pounds heavier than stock, but they also give you a lot more tread on the ground as opposed to stock. It's a daily driver, not a track car haha. Maybe if I start going to the track more I'll invest in some track rims and tires, but these are more for the ladies

So i'm getting impatient for my rims :/
Finally got in contact with a guy from Enjuku. He's been trying to contact XXR to change my rims to gold or get the bronze shipped out ASAP, but they've been out of the office all week! Of course the week I finally order my rims! My Enjuku guy says they'll probably ship on monday, so they wont be here until the monday after that, like the 13th I think? :/

This will be interesting to see these at 18" on h-tech.
I think you should have just oppted to pay more to go with someone that had the bronze instock instead of going gold. Gold just looks too cheap unless it was real plated gold. hehe
