XXR, CCW knockoffs

[Cronopoulos]

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

Yep, same dealio it seems.

I pre ordered these with black centers no word yet on shipping. The weather is getting nice so I hope they ship soon. I'm considering making some plugs to flush fill the extra holes and should work well on the black set - if it works I'll offer them for sale.
I don't understand the critics these are light and appear well made and are good value for the money. I own a number of cars some with high end wheels and for street driving I can't tell the difference in what I paid for them. If you think you get laid more often for spending $2500 good luck with that.

I pre-ordered as well, but then my Discover card was compromised and replaced.

Then I read post #104 & 105 about NLM being flakey in the past with pre-orders... so I'll let it go.

They were slightly more expensive than TRM C1's since I'd have to get tires mounted and balanced (included when buying with tires from TR). As much as I like the appearance over the C1, I don't like them that much at full price for what will essentially be auto-x only wheels on my car.

In a way, calling them CCW knockoffs is funny... since the CCW design is basically a knockoff of BBS racing wheels (vs. BBS street wheels which tend to have more softened edges). CCW's are actually the cheaper option there.

CCW's are pretty much the cheapest (price wise) forged 3-piece wheel you can get

Any updates on these? Has anyone received them?

[BamaE30]

Spoke with Next Level today they say shipping will start in about a week arrival depends on ordered finish and size and what they receive.

Yeah, they told me the same thing three weeks ago...

[Cronopoulos]

Yeah, i heard the same thing when I called as well. Stoked to finally get these...

[jaywood]

I'm glad I didn't order these. I'd be so impatient!

[WADE30]

Just got off the phone with XXR/Sportmax/Ensure wheels representative... I told them how NLmotoring keeps ignoring some of us, etc. She told me the 2012 new line up will now NOT be done until late April.

Wtf mate?!

Get some hub centric rings for 73.1 ---> 57.1 (e30 bore)

These are cheap plastic ones, they work ok but over time they will get used/abused -

I used my stock lug nuts with my xxrs no problem... buy a stud kit offered from a vendor on here would make your setup look bitchen.

You will need hub rings to mount the 73.1 hub bore to the 57.1 hub on your car. I bought tuner lugs from Ryan Castro on this forum he can help you with that. Great service just search tuner lugs and you will find him.
