What Wheels and Tires

So I just sold my the MR BBS wheels to a friend, and was trying to figure out what to get. I was debating between the XXR 527 and 530 and wanted opinions on those two (I can afford real wheels, but really no point since I don't track the car.) I also can't decide on the Flat Black and Chormium Black. Anyone have any opinion or pictures of what these would look like on a Graphite Gray Evo X?

Also I have no idea what tires to get. I have 12k on my stocks and they're almost done. Need some good summer tires, but don't wanna spend a grand on tires right now.

EDIT: Also for 18x9.75 with 20mm offset, should I be looking at 265 or 275 tires? I figured 265 would fit a bit better so I wouldn't rub at all, or a rear fender roll would fix it.

Better question is what tires do you want to run first, then pick the wheel size to match that.

I'm going to run 265 or 275 tires. Whatever I can get to fit, I already know I'm getting 18x9.75 but not sure which color/style to go with

If you run 265's, 9.5 wheels.

If you run 275's, 9.75 wheels.

I'm getting 18x9.75 with +20 offset. That's set in stone. I just need help deciding xxr 527 and xxr 530 and the chromium black or flat black paint.

That style choice is up to you.

You're rolling your rears with this fitment, btw.

I personally prefer the 527's in a flat/matte black. Im not a fan of any gloss. Either way hopefully you dont have very dusty brake pads! lol
