Got my wheels mounted. I have a couple pics for now.. Will get more for you later this week if we get some sunlight. Was going to start raining soon so I finished up and tucked it back in the garage.

Before:

After: (yes.. needs to be lowered.. I have some RCE yellow springs going on in a week or two)

Definitely some poke in front. I'll get some camber bolts for the front and that with the lowering springs should tidy up the front.

Daily driving won't really see if any understeer, so stagered is cool for just that and riding around gives it the flush look good for meets and shows. In track events and more spirted daily diving it'll show compared to stock but nothing real major unless full out..

These are 530's in chromium black.. 18x8.75 +33. Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires in 225/40/18. I have RCE yellow springs. I think it's only 20mm (about .8"). But that will have to be low enough for me for now. I'm putting on a lip soon as well and my driveway is a little dicey to begin with.

Got the same setup in my garage. But waiting until warmer weather for weeks
and weeks!!! Next week they are going on no matter the weather!!! Tired of
the winter setup! Your pictures got me excited haha. Looking good

Bro Looks awesome. I love the chromium black. All you need is those lowering springs and change out the side markers with clear ones.

I'll be putting the clear side markers on sometime this week.
Lowering springs in a week or two as well.

Needs those lowering springs and camber bolts SOOO bad..

Looks like almost everyone's gone with 18's. I was leaning towards 17's but still not 100% sure. How's the ride quality on the 18's?

Looks good so far, but we'll get that wheel gap knocked out soon enough, add some front camber, and get the BRZ lookin' hot

Why is there so much negativity towards XXR's?

Primary reason is due to the fact that they are knock offs and because some believe that the companies that make knock offs use sub standard manufacturing methods.

People just hate that they dropped 4k on wheels alone, and others got the same look for a third of the cost. Truth is the higher end wheels are lighter and made with better methods, but because they are so light I've seen soo many friends get bents and don't hold up to pot holes very well. The higher end wheel are really ment for track use where its smooth
