OH Finally, my 4 month wait is over!
Ordered my XXR 530's back in December and got them about a week ago. I'm loving them. Here's a few pics I snapped with my phone. Just thought I would share.

I really dig those wheels

and that was one hell of a long wait. You must have been out of your mind waiting for those wheels to arrive!

Yeah the wait killed me! You have no idea how many times I thought about calling in to cancel my order. But I actually went with a staggered fitment. I'm at 18x8.75 in the front and 18x9.75 in the rear. Glad I did it because if I would of been any wider in the front I would of had to raise it. Still needed all my fenders rolled though/:

They are the XXR 530's, I was at IFO! But I didn't have the wheels on in time/:
Wheel Specs: Front: 18x8.75 offset:20mm
Tire:225/45/18
Rear: 18x9.75 offset 20mm
Tire: 245/40/18
When I ordered em they were $608 shipped(bought from nlmotoring, good call John, lol). I spent around $900 on my Toyo Proxies and had to roll all the fenders.
And I'm lowered on Megan racing coilovers.
