I've kept my oem 19's and purchased the 521's mainly because of the price and the roads where I live are horrible! I wouldn't feel so bad I bent, scratched, cracked or what have you on my cheap 20's. My tires cost more than the rims.

I think they look pretty decent for the $. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a set of Volk's or Works!

Bye the way the oem wheel picture is with 15mm spacers on all 4 corners.

 

keep your rims buddy.

 

man i freaking love this tan color..seems kind of rare

 

18's with a lip will look hella small...Go for Rays...

 

+1 on dropping the $ on 19" Rays.

 

25mm front and 30mm rear is probably as far as you want to go; thats what I'm running with rolled fenders. It looks clean.

 

Nice pics I love how they look but I found a picture of the 18" xxr 521 and they look hella funny because they look too small...Anyways do you guys think it will be necessary to roll my fenders if I get 20 mm spacers?

 

Not at all. Not even with 25's.

 

I feel a significant difference in how the car handles with the new tires but somehow I feel a slight power loss.Could it be because I got heavier tires? I got pirelli cinturato run flat in the front and michilin primacy mxv4 in the rear running the stock 225/45 18 front and 245/45 18 rear.I was previously running michilin pilot sport A-S Plus on all 4.I got a terrific deal on all 4 so I couldn't turn it down(only temporary tires until I get new rims soon)

 

Thanks! Got all the info I need! glad I joined this forum

 

Like others have said go with some OEM Rays, those may be the best looking rims on any car ever. I always get compliments on mine, no one thinks they are stock.

 

Like others have stated I would go with the OEM Rays, they are probably the best looking rim ever. No one believes they are stock on my G. Good luck.

 

If you're patient, you might be able to find some OEM Ray's on craigslist with tires for what you would pay for the XXRs and you would still have to buy tires for the XXRs lol I wouldn't do 18s b/c you would have to go hella moar low to even make them look half way decent.

My vote is for Ray's.

 

$750 obo in Arizona...

Road trip! Probably get them for $600 or $650 (which is what you were going to have to give ON TOP of your rims) since you will have to drive a bit.

 

Not screwed on yet and im trying to make the decision of leaving as is or painting it diamond graphite.Opinions?
