Black_Hawk_TL

try giving them a call, i think they frequently push those dates back, but the website still says 6-8 weeks so my guess is it could be a while even if you at the front of the list

you've waited so long already so whats a couple more weeks lol. They're a well known company and have a good reputation so they aren't going to scam you.

Same thing happened last year with the 527's but I was worth the wait in the end

Black_Hawk_TL

I'm sure they won't, I'm driving with some worn out tires so that's why I'm in a rush of getting them lol

We need more pics, especially a side profile.

So far I've been searching on google to see the rims on other types of cars in their forums.

The wifey gave me the ok to pull the trigger on the XXR 530's for fathers day. So I wanna act quickly before she changes her mind. They are going to go on my '07 base TL w/base brakes and suspension. Although, I'm looking to do a simple drop of about 1.4-1.5" w/hopefully Tein S-Tech Springs unless someone has a better option/opinion.
I want the XXR 530 Flat Black 18X8.75 and the rest??
I am not familiar with wheel fitment at all.

I am currently at stock the height with my 07 base. I plan to get the Tein S-Tech Springs as well. I do not want to deal w/any type of fitment work. This is my daily driver and I'm not going to be really modding the car out for tracking or sport driving. Mainly cosmetic w/the drop and rims and the rest of the work that I've already done.

Yes, I need to be spoon fed here. Honestly, my mind's all over the place and I can't make heads or tails of any of this. If anyone could please help me to order the proper wheel and tire specs that will give the best look w/the base brakes and the Tein S-techs.
Should I get the springs first? or the rims and tires?
Any help is totally appreciated! Thanks!

wtf lets get some pics up b4 the summer gets here lol

Lajay, without having to make fender mods or worry about "stretching" tire... you can go with something like 18x8.75 +35 with 235/40/18 tires

IF you can, I would get both at the same time so you'll only need to get 1 alignment and not worry about messing with it twice.

alright guys since everyone is holding out on nice pictures..................i was at a meet and saw these in person and wow!!!!..........i want them but finances are tight for wheels right now, i have a paint job to get done with a lip kit.

ATLS_666

Are 530s brembo friendly?

jwr0ng626

iTrader: (1)

not bad, looks good on the TL!

With the xxr 527, 18x8.75 +20 cleared brembo

Thumbs up to that s2k, seen that yesterday at the bakerz meet, kid was super stoked to tell everyone about them....I thought they were works before I walked up on them...not for nothing, I seen 4 people with the 527 and only the s2k with the 530.... I think this is my new wheel...ironically enough, I have PIAA Sport Mesh wheels sitting in my room right now...Maybe I should just throw those on the tl considering they look damn near identical

Nichio

I've read over the 527 thread a few times... I haven't picked my suspension yet because I'm waiting on my wheel choice to determine rubbing and rolling factors...so although 18 x 8.75 + 20 plays it safe, should I be tempted by the 9.75 + 20 because of the overly sexy poke out and peeled tire look? I'm already running spacers that made the stock type s's flush mount with the fenders ....I just pulled the PIAAS out and looked again...someone will be real happy with they're polished lip, but the extension of the spoke to the outer lip on these 530s gives a bigger wheel appearance. These PIAAs look smaller than 18s. Ahhh...527 vs 530?!?!?

I've had the 527's before, I think I might try these as a back up set.

Ill be putting an order for 18x9.75 & 18x8.75
What you guys think should i go with flat black or chromium black?

06WDPAspec

iTrader: (1)

^ The chromium black is gunmetal-ish.

You'll have to decide which contrast works best for your NBP.

My vote is for chromium black.

Nickb257

lmao thats my bro in the pic with s2k with the fitted on

TimothyChooo

So i live in colorado where the wheather is bipolar and the winters can be unpredictable. So im afraid to lower my car. If i get 18 what size would be best and tires as well.

Sickness! Can't wait to see photos!

jwr0ng626

iTrader: (1)

a safe size would be 18x8.75 +35 with 235/40/18 tires. there will be no stretch and no poke
