Stock wheels look good all cleaned properly - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I should clean the wheels during the next car wash...

Then again, its turning back into normal PNW weather so it may be for naught.

They are a real PITA, though. All those nooks & crannys...

Stock wheels look lovely on our cars. I'm becoming more and more unique day by day without spending a penny with all these people changing rims left and right haha
In 10 years someone will be like "yO NO way those are the OEM wheels BRO! JDM!!"

Can't really be JDM if they're available in every market. To be JDM with these, you'd need to find a bro in Japanland to trade center caps with, considering they're all about absolutely beautiful USDM builds there.

Maybe age related, but I like the stock wheels. I would rather have Hot Wheels (stock)than Maisto (plastic)...

...for those of us who remember...

The only compliments I've gotten about a specific aspect on the car (not 'oh pretty' or 'sporty' or whatever) have been the wheels. Explicitly that the wheels match the Asphalt/Dark Gray paint.

(Not my car)

Yeah exactly. Like if these were those god awful plastic rims then i would of changed my rims on day 1. But when you look closer, it's a good quality rim that's built to high standards and from what I've heard, they are made by Enkei.

Good looking rim which would benefit greatly from a bigger 18x8 size.

Wouldn't surprise me. Light, tough, functional...

...which would fuck up the inertial properties resulting in a less nimble experience. Nope.

Funny, that black with machined face looks pretty good here...

Then again, I have STI wheels so...

Cal3000 · 07-31-2015, 03:42 AM

People that own this car hate anything that looks stock.
The stock wheels are fine and they look even better when they are in motion.
The only thing I don't like is the wheel width...

Are you saying all aftermarket wheels which are different in size no good for this cars driving experience provided it was as light as stock ?
