I never have liked the XXR Gold....The bronze looks ok, but the black looks best on the 527s.

Whats going on with the 526s? No word on them yet?

Still 6-8 weeks out... They are obviously making all the 527s before they run a line of 526s

its not for everyone. ive seen these wheels with 235's on, far too meaty. ive seen them with 225's and meeehhhhh still not feeling them. So really the only choice was 215.

anyways, hate away :werd:

dont mind outtowin...he usually says he doesnt like hippari fitment once a week. just not his thing.
i like a little stretch when necessary, you have quite a bit, id saying pushing it even...but hell, the japs have been stretching the bejeezus out of tires since most people here were in elementary school...nothing new, nothing to get hyped about.

thats what i initially thought when the tires were mounted, but looking at them in person is a bit different than in pics, and in person its not so bad. I have a feeling everythings gonna look alright.

I don't really understand why you'd fit less tire than you can, but hey thats just me.

Probably run 225/45/17 in the front and 235/45/17 in the rear. Looking at Neogens and Ecstas right now, I'm not really trying to break the bank any further than I did haha, although INVOs would be awesome...

Yea I'm just learning how different tire sizes will look/fit on different sized wheels. I like my tires wide.
