So I have been looking around at rims lately and just trying to make some decisions. Most of the rims I find that I actually like and that fit the look of my car are either 750 a rim or the off brands. I absolutely love the XXR 527s. But I have herd there "not good"? Any opinions on this?

If you have a 2015+ WRX with some aftermarket rims please post a picture with what your running. I'm trying to say under $800 but can spend more for the right rims

XXR are definitely a cheaper rim. I know a lot of people will slam Rota wheels too, but I loved my Rota grids. IMO Rota's are better quality than XXR and are still pretty cheap. I think my Rota grids were 1000 dollars in 18x9.5.

Here is a similar looking wheel to the 527's that Rota makes.

Between Rota and XXR, Rota would definitely be better quality. I had a buddy with XXR's hit a pretty insignificant pot hole with the right side of his car. One of the wheels had an AWFUL bend and the other wasn't damaged, so their quality control definitely isn't consistent either. Just keep in mind, the expensive ones are usually expensive because they're forged, and GENERALLY speaking a more structurally sound wheel, but that isn't ALWAYS the case.
