Got them!
Just received my rims from the DHL courier 20mins ago..

Where's that spooge gif? Nice wheel choice!
|
This is the look I hope to acheive..
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...1&d=1336420832 Btw I was incorrect, the racing nuts are equivalent to the weight of a Double "A" battery, not a Triple "A". Here is a comparo pic. http://i47.tinypic.com/2ia332o.jpg : http://i46.tinypic.com/2hdz19v.jpg |
Just be real careful with those Al lug nuts. No air tools. Use a torque wrench. Trust me.
|
How much do Wedsport wheels cost for the set? Are they more spensib than the Enkei RPF-1 or PF01?
|
Cost me about ~$2650 for the wheels, racing AL nuts and the hub centric rings. This includes the shipping/duty/gst/tariff/disbursement. The wheels themselves were only around $405-$410 AUD each. But I had to pay an extra 700ish for shipping and customs.
|
Wheel and tire specs? This is exactly what i want my BRZ to look like!
Great choice :thumbup: |
Quote:
Tyre: Michelin Primacy HP 215/45/17 - the STOCK tyre the BRZ/86 uses. |
Good choice. One of the lightest 17x8 wheel available. Did you buy another set of Primacy HP? or just swapping over the stock ones?
|
Quote:
I'll be switching up to the Pilot Super Sports when the Primacy HP's wear out though. Maybe go up to a 225 width. |
OK, good. I wouldn't recommend the HP when the time comes for replacements since there are so many better options for the price.
You'll definitely want to go up to 225s. 215 is already a little stretched on an 8" wide wheel. |
Me like just don't hit any pot holes. They might not last very long on the street.

Missed uploading some other pics. This is the hub centric ring for the WedsSport TC105N's

Love what you've got planned! It's getting serious down in Australia. :party0030:
|
If you don't kind me asking, why the Scion badge? Scion seems to be fairly looked down on in the States (just look at all those badge swap threads!); is it cool in Australia?
And I'm sure some US guy would love to trade you Scion badges for your Toyota ones... |
Quote:
I'm thinking of getting a Scion badge because there aren't any Scions here in Australia. A minor exception is the Scion xB which they call the "Toyota Rukus" here. If people ask me, "what car is this?". I could just say, "Oh.. its the new _Scion BRZ_" trololol I'd probably put the SCION badge on the BACK though since I will probably be removing the OEM bootlid spoiler and replacing it with the SCION/PINK STI/TOYOTA badge(honestly haven't 100% decided what badge to go with yet, but Scion badge would definitely be amusing) and then getting it repainted(if the badge holes don't match up) - just less hassle with the badge on the back I think. |
w00t! Just got an email back from PF
"For the badges, unfortunately we couldn’t find any of those oval types in your attached pictures in current TRD/STI product range… Also for the Side Vent, unless you can specify the details of the items such as brand name, part number, etc…, it will be too hard for us to locate it. If you are after Subaru/Toyota OEM parts, we can quote them only if you have exact OEM part numbers for the parts you are after. Below is price information for the other parts that you are after. CUSCO Oil/Air Separator (9,000 JPY = $112.20 AUD) STI Oil Filter (Part Number: ST152084S000): 3200Yen(= $40.0244 AUD) STI Oil Filler Cap: --- Please specify part number for this as we couldn’t find it in current STI parts catalogue.

Must say though, those pink oil filters and caps are pretty sweet lookin', even though they probably have no advantage over regular black Subaru ones right? |
Choice of wheel is very good i like it
|

Picked up my new GAL @ City Toyota this morning.

|
Looks great! :party0030:

Congrats!!!
So nice to have room in backseat, really shocked me hauling my wheels/tires. Enjoy, |
I am envious of the lighting setup you guys have in Australia.
Here in the states: 1) HID's aren't an option on the FRS 2) Foglights still aren't available as an option 3) Turn signal indicators are orange |
Nice! My suspension is going in on wednesday and wheels will follow later. :)
Cruise/meet n greet soon? |
Sure that'd be cool. I'm interested to see how the opti-coat/detailing on your car went too!
I really *really* want to get the car lowered too.. undecided on those RS-R's or the RaceComp yellows.. maybe have a mini meet after your lowering, that'd be a better idea. Hopefully some other Perthies have their cars too. I've only seen one other one 'in the wild' so to speak. DGM one cruising around Mount Lawley. |
