Are the 521's the mesh looking CCW lookalikes? If so then those. I'm not sold on the MB's.

Xxr 521 over the mb. But what color do you want them in? A few company makes the 521 designs like tsw, rotas, VARRSTOEN and so on. Then again its all up to your style.

I severely hope you didn't get that info from the thread circulating around here a month or so ago.

Happy to see a CCW semi-Classic replica though, but the exclusivity of the wheel was always nice...

No my opinion aren't from the thread that was floating around awhile back. I had a few friends with bad experience from xxr. They had visable cracks and one wheel actual broke in pieces. I'm guessing from hard impacts and pot holes . That's why I always check the air, rims, and tires when I do my maintenance.

to me mb battles just seem to be meant for 240sxs/drift cars.

I am bout to rock 521s on my integra, they really are a good bang for your buck wheel (as far as replicas go)

The new XXR 531's will not be coming out in a bolt pattern to fit our cars. I've already contact XXR and nlmotoring to check.
