So i'm deciding between the 521's or 962's (Link to XXR http://www.xxrwheels.com/wheels.shtml) If anyone knows a good place to buy from please share

Colors i would go for the 521's are
Matte Black or Matte Gun metal

Color for the 962's
Gun metal

Now for sizes

962's largest 18inch wheel is 9.5 according to there site.

So i want to run

17x9 +25
18x9.5 +25

For the 521's

17x9 +25
18x10 +25

As for tires i'd be happy with 245/255's on the front and 275/285 on the rear.

I have a set of 962s on my '87 in gunmetal, with the offset, they look great and really go with the curves of the car...
So get the other ones so that we don't dress alike lol

I'm sure if you called and talked to someone about ordering specific sizes that they'd be able to do it... if they're a retailer of XXR's, they should be able to get whatever size you want as a special order.

Would you be willing to take some side angle pics so i can see how they sit on the body :)

I was leaning towards the 962's because i know a lot of members have 521's lol

That would look 10x better with the pre 89 front conversion. I do want that lip too.. Might be time to dust off my wallet again or attempt to find it in the empty boxes which belong to parts for my car, kind of like your room Habanero

Either would look good Jordan. Might I ask what you're finding as far as pricing for these? It isn't impossible to find a good looking set of Works, BBS, SSR, etc, for around $1000 these days. Memoryfab or VRWheels come to mind.
