Expecting it to fit with hopefully no body work, just wanted to see rims on car in person to check a couple of things.
Also had a couple of questions to ask.

Still have a couple of months before I'm in a situation where new rims will most likely be ordered, just waiting on the current tyres to get low enough to change over

hey guys sorry to hijack thread just wanted some opinions on:
XXR 527 colour wise going on a blue bugeye wrx
I'm just torn between flat black or the hyper/chrome black ?

I've never been a fan of chrome but do love the chrome black as it gives more detail than flat, but at the same time Flat black does suit the blue body colour and is alot more aggresive,
Just want to see some opinions,
cheers guys

Flat black doesn't show the detail in my opinion. Go for black chrome, titanium or dirty bronze to hide brake dust.

There is a blue bug STI on Gumtree running the flat black and they look nice.

I'm running the flat black on my white bug which I am very pleased with the look.

The brake dust is hardly noticeable on the flat black..

You call, search "teh xxr thread" correct spelling on NAISOC/google and see what you like :-)

Go silver or the hyper black/chrome. Looks awesome and different, it's the colour I'd go for if I get a blue peanut.

Did you get them from OS? If so did get them to mark down the value to under $1k otherwise customs will sting you with charges...

OS? Nope was au based so no charges + free post, believed it was called nexen tyre something.

The original quote for tyres+wheel package was 1800.00 but it said if you sign up for free on the site You get a coupon code discount so figured I'd try and it knocked 200 off the price haha so worked out well. And the fact the deal came with free install kit etc lugnuts and Hubic rings bought me over too, they got the xxr 530s as well few others have a look
