Seem to look good, but must have sunshine daytime pics with wheels on, and car sitting on the tires - before giving a legit opinion. ;)

Stupid because they are uni-lug.

I feel your pain, but I've had good luck with the unis that center on the hub, not the studs.:shrug: I wouldn't use them on a road course but other than that they seem to be OK.

Only drive it about 2-3000 miles a year so not worried about the universal lugs, I would obviously prefer they Didnt have then but paying 660 for them all over one ccw lol

Look good, I run the 521's in the same color combo myself. I've been looking at the 531's but am worried about the 11's sticking out a bit too much... Can't wait to see in on the ground. What tires you going with? I have only one complaint about mine. I've had them for a year and a half and on one of them the clear is starting to chip off the polished rim.

I bought 521 but changed my mind last minute before the shipped, i hope I don't have an issue with the clear I only drive the car on nice days, as for tires not sure yet on the size prob 295 on back and 265 front I don't want to roll the quarters.. They shouldn't stick out at all my old wheels were 10.5 and had room to go wider.. Most ccw are 11 wide and looks perfect.

They look good. That chrome lip helps brighten things up.

I would like to order a set of these also, but I worry about them sticking out past the fender due to the offset and 11" wide with the SRA. I know the IRS guys can run them but not sure about the SRA. I run a 305/35/18 now but need new wheels for a change and these look nice. Cant wait to see them on the car.

Are you referring to your 98? You'll be fine with these as far as fitment goes, 94-98 had a slightly shorter rear end anyways so no worries!

Tires should be mounted Saturday and going to set it on the ground and finally get some pictures... Got 265/35/18 for the front and 295/35/18 for the back should workout perfectly.. Also tossing on my 99 cobra bumper that should be done this week also, glad I got these wheels beats paying 1/4th of what the cars even worth on ccws lol

They actually look good with the car! The black goes with the original theme yet different.
