Take a chill pill man.
You're going to get a lot of abuse here as pretty much everyone here is going to tell you to get rid of the XXR's and get some different wheels.
Let me break it down for you, XXR's are generally garbage and frankly, they just suck. Do some searching on the site about the "real wheel vs. fake wheels" topic and you'll see pics and good opinions as to why not owning fake wheels is better for our community as a whole.
Anyways, this isn't a bad car. Still the headlights and taillights aren't my cup of tea, but atleast you have this low.
Carry on.

Yeah, don't ruff your feathers man.. This is the internet!
I beg to differ on finding better wheels for around the same amount of money(5zigen or rota). Rotiform, 5Zigen, Fifteen52 and etc or even TSW would have looked better. IMO i would sell them and roll on stocks. Save for a few months and visit www.vrwheels.com once you get 1000.00
Other, than that.. the car's fine (if you love the HLs) good luck bud
FYI the reason why most ppl don't have real wheels is, because they're too impatient to save or don't want to do the homework. Most ppl just want to be told what looks cool and they go buy it; regardless if the decision will cause the car community to self-destruct. The best car build are the long thought out and planned ones. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.Last edited by 244Brick; 04-24-2013, 12:31 PM.

I actually think this looks pretty good, people forget that you haven't had the car long. I also like the headlights as well. Its the internet, people will ****, plus there are tons of euro guys on here. they are programmed to **** anything JDM lol. Keep your head up and just ignore people, build your car how you want.

Curious, how much did you spend on tires?
600? 510 wheels + 150x4 tires = total spent 1000+ on your setup, but you can't afford real wheels? NOT SURE IF SRS...
You asked for suggestions, so i'm just trying to help point out that you're selling yourself short manLast edited by 244Brick; 04-24-2013, 01:19 PM.

Plenty of peopple complain about the "quality" of xxr and they have nothing to back it up. The only people I have ever seen complain about xxr are the ones who dont have them. My car is a dd that gets no abuse. I drive it sofly and treat it well. I seriously seriously doubt anything is going to happen to these rims. I havent even seen any racers have problems. On zilvia, there are hundreds of guys with xxr on their 240s and drift and have nooo problems. So I think I'm fine.
2.Are you in a race to finish your car or impatient?
3.Most Drifters don't care about the strength of wheels, just if they're cheap and can be use to slid on.. Most would drift a bike tire if possible LOL
You obviously care about your car. So, why not put quality parts on it the first time. I think you would have learned from your first mistakes.... Pedal and Carbon Wrap..?.. Do it right the first time or you're going to spend 2x the money in the end.
You asked for help and we're giving it to you. Take your time.. no rush It's up to you.
I've only had my car since Sept 2012 and it's bagged with Zauber Starforms being refinished for it, because I focused on what I wanted and the outcome .
Go on and tell me how you're a college student and live and home or don't have any money to mod..
I'm a student, have bills and a car note/GF lol. So, it can be done just take your time and save, BRO

The thing your missing is: if you spend a large amount on quality parts/wheels/modifications, they actually hold their value pretty well. If you mail-order some low-buck replica garbage that any fool can order, you might as well open your wallet driving down the expressway. The second a box of Rotas/Rokkor coilovers/eBay headlights shows up at your house, you can expect to get little to no return when it comes time to sell them.
Do the same with a set of lightly used set of Work wheels/Broadway Static coilovers/JDM headlights, and you can probably make your money back; maybe even turn a profit, assuming you put some time and effort into them.
Spending as little money as you can on cheap parts does not qualify as "saving" so much as it does "chumping out". Save your pennies and save up for the good stuff, don't do things for the instant gratification.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price.BB6 Prelude . . E36 ///M3 . . VA WRX Limited . . 1969 Nova

They are called "wheels".
Also, listen to these people. Not one person has said anything mean or hateful yet except you. You are new here. This forum operates so differently than almost any other forum out there (especially newer Japanese car forums) in terms of what makes a quality build. Take what has been said to heart, calm down, and continue modding your car with the new-found knowledge you have gained from this site.
