Looks hot. I like them a lot.

Hey thanks, we really like them

Congrat. Looks good! Would look even better in flat black.

i wish you can take another picture from the back -- but at almost ground level to see the tread/footprint on those cool tires !

looks nice !

Ok, i'll take one tomorrow for ya

Wanted them until "Manufactured in China." Personal preference; good-looking wheels nonetheless.

Thanks, I was just trying to keep the weight down and change it from stock

Great shots! - looking at getting some Enkei's myself - wondering is your suspension stock??

Cheers! congrats - still waiting for mine :P

Ya, it's still stock. Waiting for Eibach to finish up springs to drop it down

Those look great. Do the 225/45's fit without issues? I'm not sure whether to go with this size or 225/40 or maybe a 235.

Hey thanks. I mis-spoke in an earlier message, they are actually 225/40/18

Those look very good-- i think they make the car look even more expensive. They remind me a bit of Dodge Viper Wheels:

Only the Viper has fewer/larger spokes.

The car looks good and those are the same wheels I was planning on getting before I got some Gram Lights for a killer deal.

Not sure how much anyone knows about wheel dimension, but you couldn't just get those same specs in a different brand wheel for eg. the WORK CR kiwami in the same 'spec numbers' because it's a different design correct? I'm wanting to get these or the Enkei PF01's but want to make sure it's the same fitment as this car - TOUGH AS!!! haha

It would just depend on the sizes and offsets offered in the style and brand of wheel you're looking at.

to darrendriven:
I just bought the exact same tire wheel combo, except i have toyo proxes 4 not the plus version. I am noticing that the car is a lot less responsive than the stock tire wheel combo from the factory. Are you noticing this? Also when you turn the wheel back and forth at lower speeds the vsc kicks on. Any ideas?

A couple more, now lowered

Thanks for the pics...looks great. What'd you use to lower the car and how much?

That's the Eibach Pro-kit. It's a 1 inch drop

Looking very nice. I am getting this package for my Silver 86 (Aussie), However I am going for the Matte Black versions. excellent choice. it has an almost OEM appearance love it!!

thanks again for posting - how do you find the ride comfort?? changed much from the stock suspension? I wonder because the roads around here aren't the best at all... in fact, they're horrible. Makes me a bit hesitant to change it.

These are the ones I have my eye on. I think they'll look good in black on a whiteout.

Another FR-S with these wheels, posted by @thebear21 in this topic.

Very nice, a good alternative to the BBS CH-r which cost a lot more. I was thinking of running the +35.

Another car with the same wheels...

Please post a side shot of the wheels. Are they concave or convex?

Thank you.

Two seconds on Google Images. :)

Looks like the spokes are slightly convex and the center is slightly concave.

Can one of you guys please print out the Essex racing sprint kit template and tell me if they fit? its the last piece in my puzzle.

My new shoes! Wrapped with Falken ZE912 225/40/18. Still on stock suspension but I have my stock wheels in the trunk so it looks lowered a bit lol. Looking to drop it with Eibachs or RCE yellows soon. Sorry for the bad quality picture - taken on my iPhone and it was really sunny out.

Also, I noticed this when I got home but the guys who mounted the tires on the wheels did some pretty bad damage...the shop I bought them from has agreed to have it refinished next week :(

Attachment 42534

Tight looking! After you dropped the 1", did you notice any harsh ridding and extra bumpy on the hwy? How about the cornering/drifting characteristics compare to stock? Thanks!

Looks good thanks for sharing! I have set of gun metals on order. 8.5 front 9.5 rear

Did you consider other tires before the Falkens? I'm still undecided. And what lugs do you have on there?

Thanks! They just refinished my wheel yesterday so hopefully I'll get some more decent pics this weekend.

I'm not going to be tracking or anything so I just went with the best bang for the buck. I have Rays in bronze on there. I was originally planning to use a set of Muteki SR35 in black but my shop told me the day I was installing my wheels that they didn't have it in stock. I'm still considering switching to a set of black lugs though.

Merged a topic by @canuckbrz - same wheels w/ same specs

How you received your wheels yet? how are the 8.5front and 9.5 rears for clearane with the suspension? are you on stock suspension?

Thanks! :D
