    ya I quoted the wrong post accidentally, his point is valid about people wishing they had something more exact , it's cheaper for xxr to mass produce wheels that will fit a bunch of cars , it keeps the wheels cheap


    but as far as everyone else getting angry when there is any talk of xxrs is just stupid and repetitive IMO

      I've actually been to CCW's place in Daytona because my dad knows the owner so I can respect the craftsmanship and understand why the real CCWs cost so much but get real we drive e30s, you don't have to act like a baller.
      just doin track stuff :-P

            I don't want a war here. I've always wondered what exactly is 'custom' about their rims? Do they order the barrels and lips pre-made and just machine the "faces" of the rim?

                Looking at the website, pre-orders are expected in March, according to the update

                    Did anyone else who placed a pre-order have security issues with the credit card? The card I used to place the deposit got locked for unauthorized charges. It may not related to NLM, but you never know so I figured I'd ask if anyone else had the same thing happen.

                        After seeing that guys car in the project forum I am about to pick up a set of these, they are 418 shipped off ebay. Quite a bit cheaper than on that website.

                                They did the same thing last year with their pre-orders.
