Default new wheels for 2014 XXR968

I dont think ive seen a thread on this. I want to get your guys opinion on these wheels. I wont be buying them since I jus bought the xxr521 wheels for my ride, but these are new for the xxr company for 2014. They are work epuip rep wheels. Xxr968. They dont look as good as the work equips, but I still think its a pretty good looking wheel with a big lip and proper fitment. I know some of u hate rep wheels, and thats why im asking ur opinion, but for those of us who could careless here is a new option.

I won't be getting these due to the fact that I jus bought XXR521 wheels about a month ago. I don't think my fiancé would like me buying two sets of wheels lol. I'm trying to get my friend to pick these up when they release

I like these wheels. Ive never had a serious issue with XXR wheels when I had them a few cars back. My only complaint was the wheel lips are too soft and can dent easily if your not careful. Other than that, they are pretty solid wheels. I haven't bought a set in a while since i haven't seen a style that really stuck out to me but they are great style for a decent price. Cannot go wrong

Im sure someone will start the real/fake convo but to each their own right!

Yes they do sell in 20s. The 20s have a fat as hell lip too. 20x11 is the widest that they have.
