treated the old girl to some xxr 527
few more pics added further down page of settled suspension...........
...........sorry for the heavy picture upload i have tried to take pictures from every angle to help anyone trying to research these wheels as i spent hours and hours looking all over the net trying to get info on fitment with great help from people on here cheers lads.
fitment
1. plan to roll arches as these stick out a far whack
2. if still catch you need camber bolts
4. if still catching raise your f..kin suspension lol lol
fitted are black chrome (more gunmetal chrome if you ask me)
225/40/18 super sexy and smell lovely vredestein ultrac sessanta
8.75 with 35mm offset
enjoy.................
after months of sitting on the fence on to buy some or not i finally took the plunge and ordered some of maggy,car still sitting a little high as been up on the jacks and not took it out to get it to settle yet but given the pot holes and speed ramps that standard cars round here catch any lower is a bit unrealistic , had to roll my arches too which after watching loads of videos on youtube i decided to order a proper arch roller tool and had a go myself which came out very well even tho i was s..tin bricks as was doing it .
car could do with wash but will update once its cleaned and polished
took loads of pics for anyone trying to research fitment pictures and hope they help.
picture of usual height should settle to this after few days

Think you missed a bit on the back near side wheel. Looks like a spec of dirt next to the Valve. LOL Nice pics mate, worth blanking out the number plate in future.

Cheers as for number plate been on here 7 years now if its gonna happen suppose its got just as much chance any where else so dont worry about it, all tho i small number plate would look good i think lol
The only thing i am not 100% with is the colour all pictures i looked at were gloss black which is what i wanted so may get them powder coated in the future but it may grow on me :-)

Looking at warrenty matt black and chrome come with 12 month warrenty against paint
gold only 90 days for some reason?
Only downfall of matt is the brake dust sadly making them look even more dirty when theres little dust on them.
I love white wheels but i think i would be washing them everyday
adding that least matt you can touch up and match it easy , i would say is near to impossible for black chrome

i take it when you said doing loads of research for months etc did this include tyres?
i need 4x 235/45/17 and Sessanta looks favourite at the moment as performs in rain and dry?
did you learn anything about these bud?
dont fit widetrack rear bumper in my opinion looks good as it is

I know of 2 imprezas and a skyline that run and swear by them plus all net reviews are always fantastic .
To be honest it was the only tyre i wanted for them since start of year when first wanted these plus ask john they look sexy on the wheels :-)
I think the wide track would finish the back end off but need to save the pennys
