Again, everybody's goals are different. We just happened to learn the hard way and hope you guys appreciate someone else getting pwnd besides yourself. :p
I appreciate the work you guys do, just wanted to tease a little. Keep it up!

You're probably right, but why not a set of less expensive camber plates? I'm getting the Racesengs myself because I'm a huge fan of their parts and the sheer beauty of their anodized orange, but still could pull it off with a simpler camber plate.

I trust Raceseng CasCam over the other camber plates for a fairly small difference in pricing. The Raceseng is also quite modular in a way where you can use it for OEM suspension or coilovers with a change of the perch and bolt. All of which are extremely high quality with very tight tolerances.

Anyone else have pics of these?

Thinking about the 18x8.5 or 9 width in gold, on a red FR-S.

Thank you - they look gorgeous and imagine the gold may look very nice on a red car with just a few other subtle mods.

Great picture! I would like to clarify regarding the difference in face look, I notice a difference in WRX and BRZ.
BRZ has spokes that are more in line with the rim, so the connection point looks straight.
On WRX, it looks like spokes are more inset vs the rim, so there's a transitioning that is rounded off as it connects to it.
Does that make sense?

I'll go look through this topic to find other width/offset wheel to see.

They look pretty similar. The WRX has 18x9.5 +40 / 5x114.3 wheels so you'll notice that the hub may look larger than the BRZ. Also note that the offset is a little different so TWS has another 5mm of pad spacing to work with over the +45 / 5x100 setup.
