Has anyone done any track days or autox on these wheels? If so how'd they hold up? I searched through the thread but the only mention of tracking was regarding getting metal hubcentric rings vs. plastic ones.

I'm sure they'd hold up fine, just like you said be aware about the hubcentric rings you use if you plan on tracking. A 850+ HP Evo IX was running these wheels so I'm sure it be fine haha. Plus it'll be pretty cheap to replace if anything.

Thank you. That thread reassured me before I decided to purchase the 527. The one guy who weighed his 18" 527 to be a little over 19 lbs is almost unbelievable.

Also, the double lip which nobody can see in pics unless you look closely at where the tire sidewall meets the wheel might add an extra pound-ish but seems to function to add structural rigidity.

Where'd you get those lug nuts and how much did they run you? Looks sick

Maybe I missed it in the thread, but was there a whiteout with matt bronze 527? I went through about a good 20+ pages... help!

Japanparts.com. Right now they're $194 before shipping from Japan (shipping is $20ish to $35ish depending on your zip code) but I just realized they might be available from US vendors if they've been available for other Subaru models.
