Default A cheap alternative for aggressive flush wheels

For those of you who like big dished out wheels with aggressive offsets and then you realize the they cost an arm and a leg and your dreams are shattered. A buddy of mine was at SEMA this year and was quite surprised at a brand I actually despise had something that caught my attention.

Now I know a lot of you guys cringe when you hear the brand XXR, but they came out with a with a wheels that in my mind doesn't look too bad at all. Its called the XXR 526 and comes in aggressive fitments like 19x9 +25, 18x10.5 +20, 20x9 +15, 20x11 +15. It has a stainless steel lip to give it the "multi-piece look". The only thing I hate about the wheel really is that they are dual drilled. That alone definitely makes the wheel look much cheaper. But for a 1 piece cast wheel with a large lip that doesn't have a ridiculous curve on the spoke, it doesn't look too bad at all. They make them in gloss black and "chromium" black, but too bad no silver or silver w/machine cut, I think it would have really drawn in the euro crowd. But hey for under $200 a wheel I guess you can't be so picky LOL
