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.

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.

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

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
