No rub on mine, and I have the same setup but with the sportlines. Springs have settled now that they have about 7,000 miles on 'em.

Installed hub centering rings and painted the center caps matte black. I want to get different stickers though, some flavor of Subaru logo.

How is the strength of these rims in comparison to the OEM rims?

I'm on my second set of XXR's on my other car and I've only every bent one wheel out of both sets. I hit a massive pot hole that would pretty much square off any wheel.

Also both front and back wheels on the passenger side hit it and only the front one bent

Is there any issues with not using the center caps? Like, will the hub start to rust or anything bad like that? This will only be the case during the summer as my stockers will go on for the winter months (salt/ice/snow exposure etc), if that matters.

I think the caps kill the concave look of the wheels. If caps are needed, can lower profile caps be used? Or will no other caps fit?

Hello guys!
I finally got my Toyota 86 and now I need those sexy XXR 530s.
Anyone knows a website that ships to Dubai, UAE? I'd like to avoid ebay if possible.

thx in advance!

With different centre caps. So much better than plastic chrome.

Where did you get your centercaps? I'd like to get an autobot logo.
