WTB: Set of Rims
 

Winter is coming up, let me take those summer wheels off you guys and go buy yourself a new treat next year!

Looking for sets of rims in 17s or 18s only.
- Not interested in your tires, unless borderline brand new
- No curb rash
- No reps


No set of rims are too expensive! Just don't give me ridiculous prices.
If no decent rims are sent my way, I will be purchasing a set of RS05RR brand new.

Help me help you!

Buy my 2016 Stock rims?

If you're willing to take a look at a set with very minor curb rash :

Pass, thanks.

Would have considered had i not just bought my winters. :iono:

Pass, thanks.

I recommend chsck out 720 Form GTF2. Similar look, different finish. But, pretty sure considerably lighter and also similar process for higher strength. Unless you are looking for Rays or some really pricey stuff...

And they are reasonably priced! @FT86Motorsports has them on sale right now.

Wheels Collection (Wheelsco) FTW

Thanks for the recommendation. And i believe you meant the GTF3? I have indeed checked those out before just wasn't a fan of the silver in between each spoke. Not too much of a hassle to fix if i really want to but wasnt too familiar with the brand/quality.

They are light and strong and use a similar process to Enkei MAT for a stronger almost forged wheel.

The line consists of 3 models only, but considering they spec out very similar to RPF1 without the boring overexposed design (IMHO) I think they are winner.

I have GTF1's. They are the lightest and strongest with the least spokes and 17" only. The finish is great if you have issues with black brake dust. With my Project Mu's that is an issue and the finish blends with the dust.

The silver is where they cut out a bit for more weight savings. I think the point is they show that weight savings is priority.

There's a race team in QC that has 3 or 4 sponsor provided sets and they have held up for a few seasons really well for them. They did curb one rim really hard and break it, so I guess that is their destructive testing. They are rated for something like 750 kg/corner.
+light
+strong

The style is subjective.

I agree that the RPF1 is overexposed, especially with 86 owners. But now I'm starting to feel the same way about these 720forms.

I personally think it's a pretty ugly wheel design and doesn't suit the twins very well, but that's subjective. Same as a lot of people's feelings towards RPF1, which I personally don't think is ugly per se, but definitely a bit on the "safe" side design-wise.

That said, I know the majority of people who buy either of these wheel designs are doing so for light weight and not much else (such as style).

Just my $0.02 (rounded up to $0.05 by the government).

You sure you don't work for 720form? :lol:

The GTF3s aren't bad, for the price it wouldn't kill me to just powder coat them to the desired colour/finish I want. Just so tempting to go full on "JDM BRO".

For me weight/strength>style>price.

Its funny you say that. I HATED the RPF1s in the beginning, it seemed so bland and overused in the 86 world. Then I saw them available in their SBC colour. Saw the sizes/offsets they were available in and started looking for other options... Im still in awe with those Enkei RS05RRs though. Cant justify them (yet) for $2600 before tires when there are so many other similar looking reps.

Enkei aren't really the go to brand for wheels in that price point.

Yeah if you're in that price range, may as well look at Advan, Work or Volk/Rays. Besides the RPF1, Enkei still seems to me like one of those "also ran" companies, like Fast, even though their quality is probably way better than Fast.

I honestly really like the wheels that fungus has up for sale...and the price is right for what they are. Gram Light 57Xtreme are another wheel style that is severely played out in the 86 world, so his are more unique.

For me, style trumps all, because my car is my DD and I'm not really planning on tracking it. I don't care how light a wheel is if it's ugly, and I tend to gravitate towards something that is unique, as I hate showing up to a meet and having the same wheels as 10 other cars (again this is subjective). Yes my wheels are reps, because I'm also balling on a budget. LOL. But they've held up pretty well strength-wise for reps.

Lol your old stock ones are holding up well for stock after being powercoated bronze... maybe it's the owner and not the wheels #mindblown

Fungus' set are definitely nice. Had i been interested, i would have thrown in an offer and then just powder coated.

I feel like wheels with more spokes fit the FRS/BRZ better. Maybe thats just me.

Tell yourself that when you're cleaning brake dust from between those many spokes. You can manage it nicely with a pressure washer except you will need to wear a rubber suit to stay dry.

THIS!!! I wanted 5 spoke for this reason but ended up with TSW nurburgring (however you spell it lol) and they are a little better to clean then stock as there is room to get your hand in there

Lol true
Depends on the finish too...brake dust washes off SBC pretty easily :)
and stock pads are surprisingly not that bad with brake dust

You can buy my Advan GT's

I like to get down and dirty with my women.
I mean car. :wub:

I have set of enkei raijin for sale

Bump, let me free up some storage for you.

I have a set of Black 17x9 +35 Enkei RPF! for sale. They are wrapped in 245/35/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 with about 50% tread remaining. Looking to sell together only, PM me if interested.

Thanks but I'll pass. No need for tires unless your price is amazing.

BUMP

No one wants my cash?

Let me give you some to help you get your significant other the gift she's been asking for for Christmas!

Many people want your cash, but you keep passing on everything!

Lmao just playin' bro. Don't settle for wheels you don't like.

Fair point... :bonk:

They're just whims. Let him the biggest chrome ones he can find. Preferably spinners or even better those that don't spin so it looks like you are sliding on the asphalt.
