Any chance i could see some comparison shots/photos side by side, of 86s with different 527 offsets and widths (on the car) just so i can see which one affects concavity of this wheel more?? im kind of a concave fanatic and as much as i like this wheel, i cant help but notice they more/less concave on the same car.

i hope it's not too much to ask

^ what size u running? and thanks for the pic!

i know this has been beaten to death and i've tried searching around, but im gonna be lowering on fortunes and im looking at 527 18x8.75 +35 fronts and 18x8.75 +20 rears with 225/40/18 all around, do you guys think the back will poke too much? I guess its more of a stance thing. I was also thinking 18x9.75 +35 rears BUT 225s will be stretech as hell.

What do you guys think? ( i will prob be lowering around 1.5-2 inches, i cant get the honda boy side outta me....)

Nope that will actually sit perfectly flush. I'm doing 35 offset all around with 225/40/18 also. That'll look clean!!

We've got similar tastes. I've been told that if you like concave wheels to look at the XXR 530'S, which is the rim I'll probably go with. From what I've been told they were designed with the concave look in mind.

My wheels arrived today. I was a little nervous about the color choice, but after seeing them in person.. I LOVE IT!

The chromium black in this batch is amazing! They look lighter in person.. and not through a crummy cell phone camera. They are really more of a gunmetal than black.

I'll try to get them mounted this weekend..
