    16x8 ET20, looks pretty good.

    Multilug, needs rings :(




    I also have 16x8 e38 style 5s (19lbs, need a redrill), and am considering the 15x8 TRMotorsport wheels.

    Opinions welcome, hadn't seen any chatter regarding the 521 specifically, it avoids the 0et poke and could run some VERY nice tires, weight isn't terrible at all (2 lbs more than 15x8 TRMs on a 16 instead of a 15)

      Not bad. The center doesn't look botched. The width and offset is perfect. The weight is fairly light for that size wheel. The TRM c1s are only 15", so you can run less sidewall to make up for the weight. I'd be down if I didn't have some super secret dope wheels under construction.

        They're not too awful, I really don't like black wheels, tho.

          Good thing they offer it in many different colors. :D Hyper silver, gold, black, gun metal, flat black - centers W/ polished lip or all black.

              Because of the multilug, or just some sort of anti-brand loyalty? I haven't seen many failures or anything from the brand, considering how many r3vers run 'em.

              I think I may give these a go.

                Kinda look like a wheel that would be better suited to 17" but i wouldnt mind seeing some 16s done up with 205/45s and spacers

                  Just very cheap wheels. Not the highest quality.

                    Give em a shot. Most likely you can get a deal from ebay on em like the rest of xxrs. Theyre not super high quality, but should hold up to regular use

                      For real. You'll need all the quality you can get when you are 4x4-ing alongside Clarkson, Hammond, and May through the rainforests of Bolivia.

                        I dig.

                        I've never had a personal problem with Sportmaxx. Cheap wheels that look good and you don't have to be as worried when you or if you park in a sketchy neighborhood over night.
                        Need a part? PM me.
