Damn those 527's look great in flat black. Are you dropped? If so, how much and on what?

Judging by the sticker on his window, I'm going to guess Eibachs. And since it looks perfect and not slammed, I'd say the Eibach Pro-Kit.

Another example of how well these wheels fit our cars. I might end up selling the ones in my avatar and getting the new 535's when they come out.

So, any photos? What finish? I'm not sure if I missed your post on this.

Gotcha. Thanks man. I already have my 530s. Just waiting for spring to put them on. I won't be tracking the car so think I may pass on the rings

To clarify what I believe @JoeBoxer said, centering rings can be bad only if you track the car because they run the risk of melting/cracking. But if you don't track the car, I highly encourage you to run with centering rings.

Find out more about why here.
