Your current rims look better. Just my $.02
Interesting observation, never noticed that. It still doesn't bother me.

If I could find a set of gunmetal OEM 19s I would go with those... I just sold my OEM 19s but they needed to be refinished and then powdercoated which would have been $$$$

Welp... went for the 530s since I can get them this week and they are a little cheaper. Pics will be posted as soon as I have tires mounted and wheels properly spaced

Refinishing can't possibly cost you more than $500
XXR's are cheap but not that cheap.

Either way hope to see results soon, I think you made ther ight choice between the 2

Without a doubt, wait for the ones you like more. These wheels are gonna be one your car for years. You will be really pissed at yourself if you don't get the ones that you like the most.

True... another concern is that I want a square set up so I can rotate the tires front to rear. I probably should have kept my old OEM 19s and searched for two rears to make a 19x8.5 full set.

This is a good point, which is why I still have the 527s on order as well

IIRC the difference between the front/rear on the Coupe rims is only 0.5"

You can run the same tire size on both the front and rear for a 'square' setup and you'll Never notice the difference.

1/2" is two-thirds of fuak all

I love those 530's. I haven't looked into wheels at all yet, as I have the OEM 19's on my car, but I'm seriously considering 530's now.

Looks good man. Here's a pic of my car right out of the shop. I still have to finish the center caps (will post pics of that when they're done) but I am loving the look. The offsets, widths, and fat Conti tires all came together to give me the flush look I was going for. I will post better pics once the car is detailed.

Looks good man. I'll be in the market soon. So this pic is stock suspension and looks smooth IMO. You put tpms sensors in the new wheels?
