THE TRUTH ABOUT XXR WHEELS 

3 years on XXRs... Daily drive in Chicago weather and salt, potholes, 2 seasons of AutoX, couple track days.... 0 issues

What I especially love are when these dudes on instagram who are against XXR/replicas that post pics of their "real" wheels, talking shit about XXR/replicas, and they're running some weird, asian named, unknown generic tires...

I've owned 3 sets of XXR's and Ive never had a problem. I've hit some insane potholes and they've held up fine.

Hate dudes that bash a product they never used just because it’s cheap

I've used a set of 530's with my winter tires for 4 years now. No mechanical issues and I don't feel like killing myself when I find snow covered curbs and medians 👍🏽

This video makes me feel safe and motivated to buy a set of XXR 560’s for my G35. Doesn’t seem like a bad first wheel tbh.

I had XXR 527’s in 18x8.75 and they were killer wheels! Very good quality for their price and actually very light.

I've been using my xxr969 for 6 years now, every summer... and they're still on great shape!

I have a set of XXR 527s I bought in 2011. Been through a few Ohio winters and "spirited" driving and the only thing wrong with them so far is the curb rash (my fault). They're great rims!!

XXR's were the first aftermarket wheels I bought. I had them for 3 years with no issues. The one bad thing about them aesthetically is the multi bolt pattern design. mine were 4 lug, but the wheels had 8 holes to fit two different bolt patterns.

I just bought some xxrs from their website for my Audi s4 they look great they fit perfectly and they are not to excessive or “hot boy” like absolutely love them

Is it me but Alex voice got higher through the history of fitment videos.

I've owned a few sets of XXR wheels. A couple of them were second hand and beat. None of them gave me any problems. The current set I have on my weekend project (mk4 gti) has 35 series tires on it and Ive hit a few unsuspected potholes with no problem. Once, I hit one so hard that my wipers turned on, yet no damage to the wheels. Not only I but have a few friends that ran a XXRs. No problem at all. The only complaints of it failing are from online forums, etc. Never in real life had I heard or seen on fail.

my 89 supra has XXRs from 2005 and its still strong as ever. i havent experienced any warp, bent, etc. if you take care of your items it takes care of you.

I love XXR simply because NO ONE ELSE MAKES 4X114.3 LUG PATTERNS besides JNC

This editing style is funny af, I don't get why people would hate on it. Whoever's working in you guys' basement tell him to keep doing the things. Fine stone could be pebbles, or rock chip *flakes* or sand. Granular stuff, microabrasvives, etc (i'm just guessing from the cavernous depths of my posterior cavity)

XXR is a brand name , and were originally made as SportsMax along with Ultralite Wheels in the 1990s, at a factory called Ensure in Taiwan, Ultralite is a UK brand originally famous for Austin Mini wheels and the two brand owners are still in partnership today and still manufacture the brands at the same factories, although Ensure closed many years ago. so its now 6 things you didnt know about XXR brand ;)

Honestly I'm on my first set of XXRs, & I like them. I have the 527's in Chromium Black, in 18x9.75 +35 & they look really Good. I wouldn't mind looking for another set from them, & I just Daily my Lexus & always get alot of Compliments on them

I had a set of xxr's on a previous car, and never had an issue. People always get on the bandwagon about the cheaper brands.

unless your a fucking professional driver it doesn't matter what wheels you have. its like saying you cant fucking fix something with tools that aren't mac or snap on

Hey man, keep the great work up, because I'm loving it!! You are super funny and the quality and content is superb! Got a new subscriber

Flying stone test!!! Lmbo. My mind quickly when to to someone throwing a rock at the wheel and saying "tire checks out"

It seems like a lot of people have this idea that they need $400-800 a piece wheels with racing pedigree and every certification on the planet but if you aren't actually putting your wheels through the incredible stress of racing/drifting/autocross/etc and the car is basically just a daily driver or a weekend canyon cruiser, you really don't need to spend a crazy amount of money on wheels. Obviously if you just want to, then have fun, but you really dont need to break the bank on super mega high performance wheels. I've never owned any XXR's but I certainly wouldn't have any reservations about putting some on a daily driver just to make it look a little nicer. Id probably run them without that black and red xxr center cap they use because I think that looks a bit shitty but otherwise they have some great looking designs and a ton of options.

XXR 559 19x8.5 (bronze) on my 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance and no issues here. Really great bang for your buck. Tons of compliments.

Have 2 sets of 16 x 8.25 XXR 527 Zero Offset for my Stanced Turbo EG Civic Sedan Absolutely perfect wheels for it (hence why i have 2 sets) at the right price and have never had a problem with either

I run the forged 527’s on a 500 hp 4500 lb charger with no issues. Although not as cheap (~1600 shipped) they are a great lightweight option for me.

XXRs used to be called Sportmax. didn't see any history on the name change or if it had any importance with the company. I've owned a few sets even before they were called XXR and they have always been an affordable wheel.

Good info. I just bought some XXR 556's and it's good to know that they aren't too bad of a wheel.

another thing is originally XXR was once called SportMax, BRS AutoDesign (when it was still around) used their wheels on their cars.

I noticed XXR has included forged wheels to their range. The XXR 527 Forged Alpha.

How about a vid about knock off wheels and which ones to stay away from because of faulty build quality, guys on limited budgets especially ones new to the car scene keep getting duped into buying them because their on store shelves and their automatically thinking their good wheels when their not,would really help out the younger enthusiast and keep up the great vids some of the best on RU-vid for car guys-- funny and informative

If anybody asks, I'll just say they're my drift wheels. Thank you

got xxr 969 for my daily driving on summer season (canada) and been using it for 4 years now and its still great 👍

Seen a friend skid into a curb on a pair of XXRs and he drove home with just a cracked rear camber arm, but the wheel wasn’t cracked or bent in the slightest, just looked like some curb rash. I say don’t knock em till you try em

Had some XXR 527s. Few problems to start with, with balancing but after they got swapped I had no problems at all! Decent wheels for the price and quality is good

Idk why but I was expecting to hear choppa won’t miss after the outro

Accelerated weather testing is cycling hot to cold weather and dry to wet condition repeated in short period time instead of leaving the wheels outside for 10 years to gather data. This is a fairly simple test for the most part and the data is used to determine thermal fatigue and dimensional variance in the temperature domain as well as testing the finish of the wheel surface.

I have the xxr 527 about 4 years i live in México, the streets are very bad conditions and never have any problems with this rims

I live in Mexicali Mexico, the streets are shattered, holes everywhere, I have had 3 different models and measures and have endured many blows in the horrible streets, my opinion is that they are very good buy. use the translator

I've always figured XXRs are just like any other cast wheel. They're going to be just as safe as your oem cast wheel. I will say that the one set I ever owned were pretty heavy and you could really feel that extra rotational mass. They look like high end wheels for basically nothing though

You guys should definitely do one about Tenzo Wheels as well

Bout a set of used 551 3 years ago, hit potholes, rocks etc...no issues until yesterday, when my rear wheel literally exploded

awesome vids. Just made the connection you guys are a part of custom offsets. Those videos helped me with wheels and tires for my f150!

You guys should definitely add something on Drag Wheels

i have XXR 535 on my R33skyline, and they are best looking, non rep flat black, five star, concave design, i and anyone has ever seen, great fitment, have not exploded....and now rare, cause they don't offer it anymore! i have forged BBS Impuls, on my Cedric, look meh, no issues, but look way better than all other BBS, xcept CH XXR 527 is forged and inexpensive

0:20 *when I lose a race in nfs prostreet*

Although I prefer authentic wheels; I can't knock anyone who just wants these as some daily wheels. It's their car and their money, not my problem or choice. That said, it's a cheaper option to go OEM+ for wheel choice, especially if you're planning to save up for a higher quality wheel. My main issue with reps is the handful of scene kids who think they stand out from the rest when they have the same wheels as others and/or have no problem dropping serious cash on quality coilovers, or an air kit, quality tires, etc but cheap out on wheels. Yes that actually happens.

Do Japan Racing wheels!!! PLS! I am curious about their technology and standards compared to XXR.

I just ordered xxr 521 for my Honda Civic hatchback hopefully they look good

Picking up 15x8 XXR 4x100 002 Old School’s for my Miata soon, they’re gonna be sick

Do Konig!

Insane prices, thanks for doing this video, loved the magnolia sound track!

Great. I noticed they are more affordable. Just wanted to make sure they're decent. Thanks for the video.

this is still my favorite wheel history, im partial though since i've owned a few pairs of XXRs (521/527/962) even when they used to be called Sportmax (my 504s). good times

I have xxr 521's on my supra never had any problems with them (touch wood) yes they are cheep but they have taken a beating with no bother and still look fresh 3 years on and I do drive its no garage queen. I think people that have problems are probably hitting curbs and potholes then blaming the wheel tbh

Saturn SC2 Turbo Charged With Deep Dish XXR Wheels An Slight Negative Camber In The Rears 😍💯 All About Standing Out An Building A Cheap Fast Functional Car With Style Your Happy With.

Just ordered some xxr 527’s chromium black boiiii 🤙🏼

I’ve had XXR wheels for 3 years on my daily drivers and I’ve got a few dents on my two front wheels. I’m about to replace them in a few days. Those dents are due to poor road conditions + my fast driving. If you’re looking for a cheap good looking wheel I’d recommend them. I’m going to upgrade to VMR wheels at this point so I’ll reply to this comment with how much different they feel, specially on poor road conditions since a more expensive wheel should feel stronger, right?

2 years on XXR 527s on my prelude 5th gen. No issues still. And this is me accidentally driving 60 MPH over a random ass construction steel bump on the street that workers never put a sign on, pot holes, and stupid ass bumps in Las Vegas

Nothing more or less to say about you guys. subbed. awesome videos and from the looks of it, your site looks cool and or useful to find info that you need.

How is this not viral yet?

i have xxr 527's. I smacked a square curb veryyyy hard and the rims survived with only bad curb rash. I expected them to break into a million peices. +1 for xxrs

Just because it cheap doesn't mearn its crap I pick up a set of bbs wheels and xxr lasted longer vs cracked bbs now which one is garbage

a little piece of mind after just receiving my 530's. I can't wait to get the tires on these things. Great vid.

still slapping the xxr527 on my cg6. just installed some godspeeds so can wait.

I love my xxr rims, three years strong

I love 527s they are probably my favorite wheel ever. Rpf1 wheels would be a good one to review

id like to actually see a comparison between how manufacturers make their metal rims vs how aftermarket name brands make their rims and just how much better aftermarket brand name rims that will cost us $2k+ compares to say that oem different rim that you can choose to put on at the Lexus dealership for $2k when you buy a lexus. or are they comparable but people are just misconstrued into believing that aftermarket rims are just that much better. obviously take a look at like anything from a standard lexus wheel to like a corvette or viper rim or gtr rim. supercar rims perhaps can be included but im betting most of those are already forged anyways. i think a video like that would be a perfect fit for your channel (pun intended ;) ).

I got them today used with new tires for 400 and they’re pretty good so far

I have xxr 520’s. And they look amazing

I was about to say. How do you carry this brand but talk crap about it 😂 ITS A GOOD BRAND!

Had mine on a turbo Mustang GT for 7 years no problems 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Can you do VMR, please? I love this series!

Is there a rotary forged, or even a full monoblock wheel that looks like the XXR 557, comes in anywhere from a 17x8 to an 18x9, AND has the black and bronze finish using a 5x100 bolt pattern? If so, I think I'm in love. Lay it on me, brother, how much am I spending on these unicorns?

I bought a set of XXR 530's had them only a year until one of them cracked on me. I was up in the mountains driving through the canyons and it cracked and air started to hiss out. Got rid off them after that.

Do reviews on AG wheels and Forgestar!

You should do Cosmis Wheels

I had XXR 531s (I think) on my FRS when it burned down. I want y'all to know that the front wheels MELTED. Ask me if I had ever seen wheels melt before. No, I hadn't- and haven't since. The rears (far from the heart of the fire) cracked clean off of the barrels just from the heat. Moral of the story: Some things you should just spend the cash on (when possible.) Also, don't burn your car down. That helps most.

Who’s watching in 2019?

Celica on the first shot ayee

Had a set of XXR 531 on my drift car never had an issue with them

Do MST wheels... I've been seeing them lately being used in drift events.

It's not anyone company that makes wheels that tend to crack it's the process they choose. Squeeze casting is well known in the industry to be more prone to cracking when the wheel gets damaged vs getting bent. I don't know about you but I'd rather have my wheel get bent then crack and crumple under my car. That's horrible and unsafe.

People that hate xxr’s have never bought and owned xxr’s because they think it’s like buying sketchers because they are cheap. People that have bought them they love them. I have xxr’s on my 240 and it’s nice knowing if I smack a wheel on a curb or something I can get another wheel for like 100-150.

Great just saw them online, never heard of them, really want to get a set for my 08 civic. Appreciate the quick response. You guys are the best at what you do. Keep it up. Thanks jaye

Need a set of wheels for a 2012 Premium 2 V8 GT MUSTANG with big brakes

Okay, so there is a 50/50 they will break or it depends on if your running low profile and think your driving a truck they will break? Like driving highways going 90mph and going over small bumps won’t do anything? Just curious? I’m just interested

Please do i video on Whistler Wheels and ARC wheels

The intro is hey guys it's whatever his name was from "Fitment Inc." Inc is short for incorporated but there name is fitment industries...

Come a long way 🙏🏽

Hey dude, can you do a vid on Alzor wheels.Preferably the 084 19x9.5 Square set for the Audi /VW guys. Much appreciated.

Do stealies next

I didn't even know xxr's had a stigma until I saw this video. Prolly the reason theres alot of them on the road today, because there cheap, look nice, and most people don't know shit about wheels.

That slap tho ☠ 00:15

I’m thinking about getting xxr 555

Have you done 5Zigen yet? If not you should.

So hard to decide to get konig, montegi, or xxr wheels for my 98 prelude. What ever is cheapest

Nothing wrong with XXRs but they're for sure reps.

Please do a video on (JR WHEELS) Japanese wheel company Asap.

You gotta do fifteen52!!!!!! please & thanks!
