Ark Design Wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

THA STI GUY · 02-29-2016, 01:53 AM

I was recently offered a sponsorship with Ark Design and would like to share my experience with you guys. I have had many wheels on my car being a drift car and these are by far my favorite and best wheels i have had so far. Nice light weight design and great looking including two different colors black and gun metal. I choose to go with their R5 wheel design because i love the sleek 5 spoke design. They offer some great stock body frs/brz/wrx/sti wheel offsets as well as some slightly more aggressive offset and sizes for the people that can fit them. Ark Design also offers not only two different design wheels but also racing seats, exhaust, intakes, clutches lip kits for sti/wrx and evo, and some electronic. For more details on parts and wheel sizes check out their website http://arkdesignusa.com/
Here are a few photos of the Ark Design R5 wheels one my drift car
18x9.5 +15

Thanks for the info. It's hard to believe a review when you are sponsored. Like the same way food tastes better when you didn't pay for it. You mention "Nice light weight design" but do not mention the weight. I just checked the info on the website, 8.5's ~23lbs, 10.5's ~27. I wouldn't call them light, maybe "light weight DESIGN" lol.

They also have 18x8.5 +32 and 18x9.5 +38 in 5x100, which are good sizes for our cars. Pass on that price.

I'm not really feeling the design. They're ugly.

I passed up the sponsorship a little while ago, but they're nice wheels. Good high end reps, but not my style. Looks pretty good here.

EzyBrzy · 03-01-2016, 12:09 PM

Yeah I passed on the "partial sponsorship" as well

Given that these "light weight design wheels" are around 8+ pounds heavier than my current wheels, and cost twice as much, I'll give a hearty "lol, no thanks"
