Default Hawkeye STI on XXR 527'S

Right guys

Looking at a set of XXR 527’s 18x8.75 ET20 114 PCD for my Hawkeye STI

Who has a set on their Hawkeye ore any XXR wheel ?

I need to Know if the ET20 will fit ok under the arches as I do not want to mess around rolling the arches. Pictures will be nice

Cheers in advance

Lee,

If I see XXR and Bailey DV in the same advert I switch off.

XKR's are the new Wolfrace Venoms, **** Wheels and are cheap for a reason - IMHO.

It was a spur of the moment decision Ian I was ordering my coilovers and came across a set of brand new XXR 527’s for £400

I have decided to not bother with the wheels now 

there's no problem with them. They can look good. Just a bit done-to-death. Same as Rota Grids, Speedline Turinis, Speedline PFF7's.....

I fall into the PFF7 camp...but want to change for some Works

Same as me, I have had my car over 7 years now and fancy a change

Also been looking at 3SDM's just a bit expensive as I have just bought coilovers and need new tyres

Yeah its definitely not a cheap game once you factor in decent wheels and a complete new set of rubber. I'd also consider some Enkei RPF1's.

The 3SDM wheels look nice - most of the range

I must admit I love the way they look especially when the motor has been lowered.
