    I like the black ones the best. Looks like your car is white? That would look killer!

    Good choices, I'm all about gold lol. So IMO the XXR 530.

    Fr500 > 530.

    None of the others are worth it and I'd be leery of the xxr brand in general. That being said: fr500.

    With your low you need at least 18x9. And camber.

    I really like the FR500's but I saw in another thread on here that some one was thinking about buying them and some one else already has them. I want my car to be different from anything on here also i'm pretty happy with how 18x9 +30 fits butttt, i've been doing a bunch of research and I think I can push that fitment a little more hehe soooo.....




    I just ordered the XXR 530's in a color they call chromium black, 18x8.75 +20mm
    fender rolling tools are all prepared and ready for them

    I was thinking about these but don't really like the dual pattern on them. I wish someone would get them so I can see what they look like with the deep dish.

    Buy them. Then you will see how they look. The lip won't be that deep.

    They have a 2.75" lip but the spokes have an rounded angle to them so eh. If they didn't have the dual pattern I would have already bought them.

    you can tuck a 225 no problem, i would do that.

    i just didnt know if you were gonna try and run 245+, that's all. good for you for trying to pull off something no one else wants to do. im all for it.
