This Enkei wheel is a very good for use on the track and it's a ultra light weight wheel also check it out.

You'll need to filter out sizes that don't fit the BRZ/FRS application of course.

Some of my choices in 18" (not in color, but in style).. much more in the link above.

btw.. can someone please confirm that the stock wheels are 20.1lbs each?

Thanks for everyones comments. Especially the pics of those wheels and weight. I wish Gram Light wheels have their weight advertise so it will be easier to make a comparisons. But I was always a fan of Enkei Wheels.I will probably get the Enkei wheels after I get the car, because I know for sure how much they weigh before i buy them.Not to mention they are alot cheaper then the gram lights.

The biggest problem I see with wheels for this car is the oddball 5x100 bolt pattern. Why couldn't they just use the more common 5x114. Ugh. I suppose given the demand the wheel manufacturers should be building 5x100 sets now.

Spare parts bin... Their will be adapters for the desired wheel bolt pattern, or they'll change it on another refresh...

adapters isn't exactly the optimal solution.. Will they work? sure... I guess

I must concur 100% with this review! Only pair of wheel's I've bought were Enkei's (TBS 11) and they were GREAT! Couldn't believe the idiot I sold my car to traded the wheels for carbon fiber air vents...

BBS or OZ Racing wheels should also be durable and keep weight to a minimum. You get what you pay for.

Did you read the reviews for these wheels? You were dead on about the durability.

Dark_Angle · 05-07-2012, 09:21 PM

I am looking a the ROTA WHEELS. They seem to be under the 20lb. range. Most are around 18lbs. for 17in to 18in and 19lbs. for 18in to 19in. Note that the weight in the different cases depend on the width.

A plus to this is that they have been around for a while and they are fairly cheap. From $150.00 to $200.00 range.
