[Shipman]

Havent updated in a little while, heres a random cell pic

[Shipman]

Really considering getting these, Ive been looking around and I think this is what Im gonna go with...theyre xxr 530's


heres a pic of generally what they would look like, anyone have any opinions on size or offset? Im thinking 18x8.75

[VETTE_50_TH]

when they start makin 3/4 inch rims?

[Dominick]

Yes. I approve

[gregonfire]

go for it! They don't make an 18x9 or 9.5?

[xarchiex]

xxr always has weird sizes. like 8.25 8.75 and 9.75. Go with the +35 offset if you get them. the +20 will require alot of camber and fender work to look proper. I have 9 +30 grids and run a decent amount of camber as is.

[Shipman]

Yeah its weird but I think Im gonna go with 18x8.75 +35, thanks guys

[ketchup!]

those would look good

[Shipman]

Heres some fun, a little spur of the moment project me and one of my buddies did, dont know if Im gonna put them on, what do you think? If I put them on I would have to raise my coils to make them fit, Im still gonna get the xxr's but these were just sitting in my garage collecting dust.

I'd rock it.

[Ej6Mike]

Those wheels are ballsy.

But then so is your car.

[Shipman]

Lol thanks, I wanna put a coat of gloss on them and then maybe throw them on and ride a bit and see how I'm feeling

[Shipman]

Working on a trade for these at the moment, tomorrow were gonna trade these for my bbs' plus 200 cash

[Shipman]

Theyre XXR527's

[Erik@R/TTuning]

I really like the 530s! I haven't seen them in person yet but they look great in those pictures and in that size.

[Shipman]

I do too, but I dont think I can pass these up, my choice was gonna be between these two models anyway so well see what happens

[Dominick]

Are those rims from a kid named Colin?

[Got Insulin?]

That black Sti needs the suspension played with a bit. That rake is not complimenting that thing at all.

[boostedfury]

Paint them the gold color!

[Shipman]

Well I picked them up today and took them to a car wash just to spray the brake dust off, heres how they sit as of now. I need to get new tires, these are average to say the least. And I was getting some rubbing on the rears on the way home, I dont know if I have to stiffen up my coils or what I should do. As for looks, I think they look aggressive and give a little poke which looks good. The guy I bought them off of had the tires kind of tore up on the rears and had a smaller size on the fronts which caused the cool kid stretch but when I get new tires that will change. The important thing is that the wheels are in great condition themselves.
