Gotta love it RETRO - Rota RKR 18x9.5 ET44 255/35/18 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys,

Thought i'd share the way my car looks since i got my wheels installed today!

It's a squared setup of 18x9.5 ET44 Rota RKR's wrapped in 255/35/18 Hankook Ventus V12's.

Enough talk, here are some pictures:

Gotta love it retro

Way too big to be retro, and don't quite look right in anything bigger than 16's

Everyone's entitled to have his own opinion

I like it, that's all that counts for me... Thanks for sharing though.

I agree, great looking wheel, but being so big its like one of those 69 Camaros with 20" wheels. They would look awesome in a 16" setup, real low.

As long as you like it though!

I like it, I think the style is unique and suits your car well.

We don't have that many 69 Camaros here in Belgium so i have no idea what you're refering to lol

I agree these wheels' charm is the smaller sizes like on AE86's and miata's, but for the GT86, which is my daily, i liked and wanted an 18inch wheel

Oh well, thanks for your input though!

And no worries, i more then like it, i love it

Thank you!!! Your words are very much appreciated, i wanted something different then the obvious, for example Rota Grids here are used on waaay to many cars, this is more unique that way

Thought about getting these as well. What are you lowered on?

I like the style... just on older cars.

That's the exact reason why i put them on mine, i like older/retro touches on newer cars, so these wheels were perfect for what i was looking for lol

Yes, nothing says "RETRO" like 9.5" width wheels on 255s.

Point taken, although i think it's pretty clear i'm talking about the design of the wheels, not the size

But hey, to each his own right?
