If you do, please post pictures. XXR 527 17x7.5 (+40mm) I have only seen 17x8.25 (+25mm) on R53s as far as I know. And they like wayyyyyy too much.

I know they probably aren't the best quality, but how bad could they be? My stock wheels (r90) are curbed so bad there's a chunk of one of the spokes. I need new wheels. Previous owner, of course.

If you do have them, post pictures please!

XXRs are cheap wheels but there are lots of Honda and Miata guys running them. They don't make too many wheels with high(er) offsets, but I guess the market is dictating they need to now.

For the right price, I'd run them.

I'd run them too. They are cheap. I think I trust them more than OEM wheels with a chunk of alloy missing.
I'm just wanting to see how they look.
