XXR 530 vs 527

Guys (and gals?),

Looking for some advice here... I had XXR 527s on order for the last month and just found out they're delayed until July so I'm looking at other options.

They will be going on this car (it's a touch lower now):



527:



530:


Should I roll on stock 17s for the next 2 months waiting for my 527s, or just go for the 530s now?

18x8.75, 35mm offset. They offer 20mm offsets as well but I think this would be too aggressive with the 245/45/18 tires I will be running. I'll most likely space out the rear wheels 10-15 mm since I've already rolled the fenders. I want to have the same size all around so I can rotate easily.

Also for what it's worth, the 527 and 530 come in the exact same color... for some reason the527 picture just captured the color much better.

Yep I think you and another guy (drove a white sedan) both had the 527s which turned me on to them. I won't be as low as you are and will be running larger tires but should still look good.

If your ordering wheels just order the backs with different offsets spacers=temporary ive seen them implode and do some damage to fenders.and become friends with dome ppl at a local tire shop you may beable to shoot them a 20 and get the tires dis mounted and mounted on another rim shoot at tire kingdom if you bring in a wheel the manager usually reccomends to just tip the tire tech...

Going against the grain, 530, no question.

The interior line in each spoke destroys the 527 IMO, it' looks aweful.

Your current rims look better. Just my $.02
