little bit better picture. the stance is perfect for me. ride height is good, offset is good. drove around a little tonight on it. Very planted. Obviously doesn't rotate quite as well with the bigger tires but doesn't understeer either. I cant imagine needing more than this for a street car. We'll see how it does on a road course......





ohhh. and I ordered some subi emblems off ebay to fit the xxr center caps.

Noob question. How is it that some people actually have the 5x100 xxr 527 while others have the "universal" pattern?

XXR fulfills "special orders" for their distributors. For example, Next Level Motoring sells exclusive colors such as Matte Bronze and Hyper Silver (at one time they offered Lime Green). For the case of single-drilled 5x100 527, XXR fulfilled a limited run order in standard colors for SGMotoring but they don't seem to advertise it well (it's simply listed as an option on their eBay store). One disadvantage about this is they may not be as available if you need to replace a wheel in the future.

Ah, Thanks! I love your build btw. I'm considering copying your wheel setup. Either 527 or forgestar f14.

What suspension set up do you have?

I'm gonna be your twin one day, looking at the same wheels and noticed you are also looking at those "toms limited edition" taillights too haha.

im sitting on swifts, stock shocks for now.

1" drop, on 245s no rubbing.

Yes i do want those tail lights.

I also think i should of went matte black on the xxr but i dont know i like the chromium. Its not really photogenic, in person the car looks aggressive.

@SliverBrz I like your ride, man! Personally, I like the wheel color choice. I think they offer a subtle pop to the over all profile of your car...letting one know you have wheels to show off, but giving more attention to the body of your car.
