Anyone else hate the stock 2-tone wheels?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FRS8SIX · 07-29-2012, 01:51 AM

Well i did too, and I knew it was going to be a first on my list to change them.

Since i have a car payment now, i couldn't afford to buy new wheels yet so i
went ahead and got my stockies powder coated!

I bought the car a little over 2 weeks ago... Heres my progress.

dropped on Eibach pro-kit

next to stocks

installed

Before and after

Sciontissst · 07-29-2012, 02:03 AM

Like this a lot mate. Think the stock wheels look pretty good, but this takes it up a notch

PS: how much did it cost per wheel?

FRS8SIX · 07-29-2012, 09:32 AM

I paid $50 a rim

thermobox · 07-29-2012, 10:37 AM

Those look great! If they had come like that from Subaru they might have lasted on the car for more than 4 hours.

LeavingNormal · 07-29-2012, 10:39 AM

Yeah that does look cool. Much better.

Rampage · 07-29-2012, 10:46 AM

That is using your head! It looks great on your car and really makes it "POP" and all for $200.

TSLRich · 07-29-2012, 11:18 AM

Great job... I'm not a fan of the stock wheels at all and this looks like a big improvement.

Sony · 07-29-2012, 11:21 AM

I definitely like this better than stock. Awesome job bro!

636 · 07-29-2012, 11:43 AM

Wow, this looks fantastic, definitely going to do this!

FT-86GOD · 07-29-2012, 11:47 AM
