Default XXR 527 Wheels???

has any one got XXR 527's on their GC8? these wheels look awesome on their GC8, if so what size can i get away with on stock suspension, may look at dropping the ride height later.

Has anyone got any pics of their car with these wheels on?

any suggestions of alternative wheels?

I'm sure one of these boys can chop these wheels on to a pic of a GC8 for you, to see what it looks like.

If you find a supplier for these, will go in with you for a set. Wouldn't mind these in 17's for my GC8. preferably in black.

You can get em on ebay from the US for ~$800 a set. Odd rim widths (like 8.75, 8.25, 9.75) - I think its mainly for the people to stretch their tyres and they are generally a pretty aggressive offset. And I think you'll need a hubcentric ring for them as well.

FARK that, there stupid widths, don't won't anything thats going to rub, probably look at a nice 7.5 or 8 with a 43 or similar offset.
