My car is nbp. I am looking for either the bronze, chromium black or flat black 527s. Which one do you guys think looks
better?

Chromium Black



Bronze

 

Chromium Black gets my vote

 

+1 looks awesome

 

+2, what offset re you going with?

 

Chromium black gets my vote.

Chromium black looks kinda like black chrome to me.

 

 

overwhelming number of chromium blacks...seems like the obvious choice
18x9.75 +20 all around

 

I was going to go with the safer 18x8.75 +20, but there are ppl that are running the 9.75 all around and from what I hear it should work with fender stretching and pulling. I would hate to have constant rubbing though

 

chromium black for sure.

 

Those Instagram photos are of bada$$vtec's car on here. He has the 9.75 +20 all around, but that is a custom powder coated bronze. That's not the bronze the 527's come in. He's also running a 235/35 tire with just a roll and very minor negative camber and doesn't rub.

 

hahah sorry, I should've made it more clear. Comparing it to the Work Black Chrome finish, they look the same.

I just realized how silly my last post looked.

 

Since your car is black ...I would do hyper silver!

 

Bronze =no. Other than that, rock on.

 

I only have a rear camber kit, so my front is not adjustable. Will it still not rub? I noticed that most people went with the 8.75. If that is the smarter and safer route, then I will do that.

Whats the difference between 8.75 and 9.75?

 

Again...




One inch...

 

 

lol yes I realize that. But Im not sure what that number signifies on the wheels in general. I guess its the width?
I just want to be sure 18x9.75 all around is the right decision...otherwise I will go with the 18x8.75.
If the extra inch makes no difference, I will go with the safer option

 

Yes, that is width.

The extra inch is the difference between slightly concave and sexy concave.

 

It will make a difference, but you said it yourself, many members are running that size.

Personally, I'd go 8.75".

 

So what I got from that is I should go with 8.75 to avoid issues, but that they will not be sexy lol

 

a little less sexy, but an easier fitment. All you need to do to see the difference is look up someone running a staggered set, 8.75 up front, 9.75 out back. That will be the easiest way to see the difference. For this design, a wider wheel with lower offset will have more concavity.

 

He has the skunk2 UCA up front, but I believe his camber is at -1. Fenders are obviously rolled for maximum clearance too.

And yes as stated before it's an inch difference in the rim width. When I buy the 527's for my winter setup I am going to do the 8.75 up front with a 215/40 tire and 9.75 rear with 225/40 tire.

The only real difference between the 8.75 and 9.75 besides the width, is how concave they are.

 

if you have yellow foglights then bronze if clear then black chrome

 

the bronze and black look is growing on me, but you cant go wrong with Chromium Black

 

chromium black all day
