We would have to get a reconfirmation on that size. We'll send it over to the TWS engineers. |

It's imho not so much engineering then rather business decision, how long some model gets produced or how big batch was. Hard to blame them, as due price forged wheels are much narrower niche products then more mass products like cast ones. Too expensive to keep big unsold inventory of such. Meanwhile .. can anyone tell, how much lightest 17" TWS that can be fit on ours and has native 5x100 pattern & reasonable offset, weight? Yes, 16x7 beats many others of 16" size, but how well these do among very lightest 17" ones?

Hmm, that's almost same weight as cast Kosei K4R 17x7 (6.35kg). Yes, i'm sure that T66-F are much stronger, and it's for 1" wider wheel .. still, a bit pitty that no uber low weight as for 16x7 one. From currently produced ones IIRC Volk TE37 SL 17" were lighter, weren't they?

Sorry, haven't been on here for a while. As CSG_David said below, stock brakes until you find them lacking. The old WRX (Sumitomo) 4 pots went under some pretty brake unfriendly 16" wheels and have piston sizes that work well on the BRZ, so I'd be looking towards that as a possibility if you wanted to experiment.

Just to bump this thread up for fun, does anyone actually run these wheels, what is the smallest size that would fit on our car, and how crazy expensive are they?
They seem to be the lightest wheels for our car, but I probably missed one somewhere. I am kind of obsessive. |
