What lugs are you using? I'm debating on open ended vs close ended for my newly ordered 530s. Thanks in advance.

I ordered Gorilla's on Amazon but I accidentally ordered the wrong size and didn't want to wait another week (amazon shipping) to put on my wheels so I bought a set at PepBoys. Acorn style, close ended tuner lugs in black.

Another shot of the 527's. Hard to get good lighting on them tho. They look much more bronze in person.

I'm using Tein H. Tech springs (front: -0.9, rear: -0.6). The drop is very mild, but I actually prefer that over the more popular slammed look.

Suits the car very well, it has a badass rally look to it
I'm not into slammin the car either, so might just go with Eibach Sportlines, just enough to get rid of the wheel gap!

I had the balancing checked on my matte bronze 527s and he said one wheel was slightly off so he adjusted the weights. Now I can't tell if he took 3 off, or 1 off and 2 just fell off. See the missing paint, this paint can't even hold balancing weights. (There was an entire square block of the white tape on the right side, I started to peel the excess off, I know he definitely removed that one)
:banghead:

And can anyone how much weight each of these are, it looks like a 0 or O engraved on the surface.
