thanks! handling doesnt feel very compromised, tires are pretty good, just noisey and crap in the rain.. overall i wouldnt say the handling isnt too off from stock. the car does feel "heavier" if that makes any sense.

thanks! only had the wheels for a couple of days, but so far fuel economy hasnt really been affected, like i said above, car does seems noticably "heavier" but nothing i would say is dramatic, las but not least ask and you shall recieve!

I like them, i was thinking that size may poke too much but i have the same size tires and gold rota dpt's but yours looks better than mine I may have to grab those or the 530's in hyper silver.

I'm considering what this wheel would look like on a moderate 20mm-1" drop. Can someone take an educated guess on how many inch drop this is? Also, in my previous experience some tires are thinner than others (more stretch). Do these Advans typically wider? I like that there's not too much stretch on these 225s!

These are really close in sizing, they stick out 3mm more than the XXR's and they have a 20mm drop in this picture.

I am probably getting the XXR 530 in the same size, running 235/40 and H Tech springs.

Merged topics for simplicity. Same wheel with same widths and offsets.

Just arrvied today
XXR 527, 18x8.75 ET35, color is chromium black. Weight is 9.5kg

Waiting currently for the tires, ordered Continental SportContact5 in 245/35/18, they should be here in 1-2 weeks, so I'll be posting pictures of the wheels installed on the car as soon as I got them.

Update 23.01.2012

Just got them mounted on the car today. However, car definitivly needs a drop now as the tires are about 0.5cm out of the fenders. I'll update again when car has been lowered, I guess in about 2 weeks

NYNOMAD 01-11-2013 09:47 AM

Cant wait to see them on the car!

YourFearlessLeader 01-11-2013 10:25 AM

I'd like me some 527s!

kmbkk 01-11-2013 10:32 AM

Those look great, nice choice! I bought a set of 527's in white. I'll post up pics once the shop gets them installed.

BTW, what lugs are you going with?
