^^^Yep...
I think with stretch, fender rolls/pulls being more mainstream, more and more people are stumbling in on purchasing wheels to get another member's desired look without fully understanding the work that goes into making them work and the things you have to deal with from having the look.

Losing that practicality and yes, I'm guilty of it too, kinda. I remember the first day I had my fenders rolled, touched fender liner and thought my car was going to explode. Now, I barely freak out, but still don't like the sound of rubbing.

 

I need some of these in chromium nice concave look

 

Mounted my 530's on Falken ZE-912's. My TLs doesnt have a-spec kit , and dont plan to install one and its been pretty rare finding people without the kit with these rims.

Anyways ill post more pics, my offset is 20 btw.

ps.. Tires still has armoral foam on.

 

I finally saw TLSeths NBP Tl with these wheels in person and words cant explain.

 

^^ what are you dropped on and whats your tire spec?

 

Glad you liked them
I got a tsx owner the 527 in bronze...same offset as mine...they arrived today, when she mounts them ill bring her car around to the meet so you guys can take a look

 

Sweet

 

So I finally got mine installed today, 18x8.75 et 33. I bought some type-s center caps off a member here, and I tried the heat gun method. Problem is that they still come off easily. Am I missing something here? Should I be taking the whole wheel off and bending the tabs from the other side? Has anyone else had a problem with this?

 

 

Wow, I've never directly been in an inter-racial relationship, but I have to say that white on black DOES look fkn splendid.

 

^^ the white looks legit

 

Ya white looks nice. I know a guy that has them in orange, even that looks good. Iv photoshopped them in blue, green, and pink. They all looked pretty good lol

 

I just got my centercaps too and will be trying this.
Have you tried using that metal thing in the back that come with the xxr centercaps? Those look like they would help keep them in

 

you may have heated them up too much. if they bend easily after heating then they are too hot. you essentially need them to have to be popped into the wheel, i got one tab in after heating them with a hair dryer and then tapped it with a rubber mallet and a towel. mine are not coming out haha

 

^ good call on the hairdyer...I might not even need to invest in a heat gun after all

 

Nice. More pics, tire & suspension specs please! For +20 the poke doesn't seem too bad.

 

Dang! Yeah I heated them till they were soft, and then pushed them in with my thumb, and when they cooled right down, I tried to see how solid they were, and popped right out. Hopefully I can reform the tabs and go for another attempt. Thanks! Other than that, I think these look sick.

 

Yeah, also tried that metal clip, didn't do anything, but at that point, I deformed the tabs so badly anyways.

 

so i think im going to pull the trigger on the these wheels. 18x8.75 +33. whats the best sized tire i should get. im lowered on tein s tech's. I think i might go lower but i doubt it. you think a 235/40/18 will do. im not a fan of stretching but if i have to then i have too, but id rather not. any thoughts?

 

Gotta get it a little lower. Then its off to the paint booth for a color change but I'm happy with the wheels!

 

^^ Bada$$vtec Jr. except with 530's.

 

paint booth for the rims, or paint booth for the car?

 

Damn those are soo bright lol

 

Those white 530's look fantastic!!

 

Car! I'll post when its done

 

Been toying with the idea of white wheels for a while now. After seeing dem white 530's I think I might give it a shot

 

That white is offical

 

I'm happy you guys like the white. I was thinking of going another color but I'm confused on what I would do right now

 

Really nice. I love white wheels.

 

very little stretching at all. I have 18X8.75 with 235 40 18
and they look good.

 

are you rubbing at all?
I have 225/40/18 with the same offset rims and I rub in the front up and down drive ways.
Its sorta just cutting the side of my tire

 

May be he is 4x4

 

I'm on tein basis coilovers, 2.00 drop front no rub 1.75 back
no rub, granted I'm not slammed. OK!

 

quick phone pic. still need to drop rear and front a slight bit

 

That's the same setup I'm going with, but I'm on Tein SAs now. After I get the wheels mounted, I'll be adjusting the height. But i've done my reading through this thread and this setup shouldn't rub or require a fender roll.

Looks good! About the same stance I plan on going, after the slight drop

 

Not sure who told you that, but if you plan on being as low as Deerole, you should absolutely have your fenders rolled. Your setup will be wider and lower than stock, so there's no reason not to roll your fenders.

 

Amen.

 

John, he doesnt want to get his fenders rolled and neither did he want to run a 225 rubber instead of 235....i tried

 

That's pretty odd. I had to press my oem caps on with my palm and all my weight against it for them to pop on. What is the part # of the caps you got?

LOL. Yeah, what do we know...we're just n00bs.

 

I dont know exactly how many inches im dropped but their 18x8.75 +22 225/40/18 n I never rub. I dont think he will rub w a 235 tire but i could be wrong.
