Below a picture showing it quiet well. Rear wheel has direct light hitting it, front wheel has not, and you can see rear looks "silverish" as front almost looks black

Hmm...is it the spacers?

No spacers at all. It's the 35 tire that makes it not stick out as much. I have poke due to tire stretch n dunlops have those damn rim protector which makes it stick out. Ill be purchasing whiteline front camber bolts and probably dial the front to -1.5 to make the same look front and rear

I go through this thread everyday hoping someone puts on a set of flat black 527s on an asphalt so I can decide on the color wheel I want.

I might mix it up and go with the 535 in the Chromium Black.

They will have the 535 in a Machined Silver also which would look really good, haven't seen the pics yet but it is coming.

zoomzoomers · 03-04-2013, 07:34 PM

535's? What do they look like?

Right now I'm torn between the 527's & the 530's in flat black. Decisions decisions...

BCooke · 03-04-2013, 07:42 PM

My birthday is coming up, so I'm thinking I'll treat myself with bronze 527s for my DGM BRZ... Yay or nay?

535 is a clean looking 5 spoke with a lot of concave in the design, got some pics in my wheel thread in the classifieds.

Actually, my wheels do poke out aswell. Its something around 5-10mm in front and about 5mm in the rear. The 225 or 245 tires will stick out both on those wheels, however the 225 tires will have the "contact area" (dont know the english word for it, the part of the tire that the car acutally runs on/has contact with the road) better covered by the wheel arches than a 245 tire, especially if you run stock suspension.

I'll do some better pictures in the evening so you can see the difference from 245 to 225 tires.

So my suggestion: If you plan to keep stock suspension or just a minor drop without chambering, go for 225 tires. If you slam the car or really like the wheels poking out a bit, go for 245 tires.
