XXR 527/530 Gallery

[eggncheese]

@Leight1104: M12 x 1.25 is the size you are looking for...as previously stated.

On another note. I'm currently rocking some 18x8.75 530's lowered on Eibach Pro springs. I want to get some more low, maybe around 1.5" - 2" lower than stock. Coils are here and LCAs are in the mail. Anyone have any experience with a drop of this nature? I'm looking to run about -2 degrees of camber up front and -3 degrees in the rear. Will I have to be concerned about rubbing up front? Wondering if I should preemptively order some spacers and adjustable endlinks. Any input anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Very Excited. Just waiting on tires to get here.

Will Update when I get tires on. 18x8.75 et33 255/35/18

[Irace86]

Update after dropping on Eibach Pro Kit. Sorry for the dirty car pics.

Before




After




Impressions: Overall the kit makes the wheels fit perfectly in the wheel well. My rears came in a few milimeters with the drop but there is still tire poke--not wheel poke. The fronts stayed the same and the tires seem to be flush. The wider rims in the back would poke a whole lot up front if I was going square, but im running 38/33 offsets with 7.5/8.75 with 235/265. The stretch of running a 245 or 255 would make the setup look more flush but Im liking how it looks now.

Can anyone take a shot at the size of these?

Tire is 215/45-17, I'm going to guess the wheel size is likely the 17x7 +35 spec considering there is relatively no tire stretch.

Thank you.

Does anyone have opinions on this style in 17"? I'm afraid it might look a little weak without the beef of 18". Hard to get a feel just from pics.

Anyone know where to find the 527 Matte Bronze in 18 x 8.75 +35? Been looking for weeks and everywhere is sold out!

[Slidemybrz]

So ive skimmed through this thread to guage my choice of wheel sizes for my BRZ, but cant seem to find anyone who's brave enough to run (or at least post pics ) of the 18x8.75 +20 527's, preferably matched with Eibach pro kit springs. I know to some thats sounds "aggressive" and to others they'll "poke" to much, but i am no ameture to wheelfitment being a former 240sx owner. That being said im asking about that size in particular because i personally feel the higher offset wheels look gross and i dont have the budget for the $2500 equivalant wheels in custom sizes. Also i know some are running the 18x9.75 but im not looking to be stanced or hellaflush im just looking for good fitment on a daily driven drift car. If any of you guys could help a brotha out with that specific wheel size it would be much appreciated.



P.S. Not worried about color options or tire sizes as i will determine that upon purchase of wheels

Just so you are aware, this color is known to peel within months. Mine were never exposed to anything except rain and soap\water when washed and they began to peel after 1-2 months. After the season ended I took them off and had them powder coated in matte bronze.

I contacted XXR about replacement and they responded with "sure, you can pay to ship them back and we can send replacements". Shipping them back is almost the same cost as just buying a new set. Plus, getting another set of wheels that will peel again is the last thing I want.

Thanks for the heads up! DO you know if the other finishes peel as well? I was considering the flat black as well. Also how much did powder coating cost?
