HELP- What wheel should I go with?
 
Hello,

I currently drive a firestorm FRS and the one thing I've been wanting to replace is the stock wheels. It's been a lot harder to replace than I thought cause there's so many different options, but I've broken it down to two selections:


(1) Enkei Kojins (Black, 18's)

(2) Forgestar F14's (Textured Black)

http://www.modbargains.com/forgestar...-brz-17-in.htm


What do you think will look better on a Firestorm FRS?


Thanks!

Everyone's taste and style is different... ask 100 people and you might get 100 opinions. I suppose it comes down to some key factors...

- Budget
- Purpose for change besides "the look"
- And then... a look you like

I am partial to TSW because they are Rotary Forged and with great strength one gets decent weight savings (per corner). I like their style, and their pricing isn't in the stratosphere (IMHO).

I have Interlagos on... OEM sizing as I don't believe in adding a lot of weight at the corners - get "grip" from the shoes.

Go with F14's so you can have the same wheel as every rocket bunny FRS in the world.

TSW Rotary Forged is Cast Flow Forming, same as Enkei MAT. BBS had this technology for two decades.

I personally like 5-spoke wheels. If you need lightweight weehls, go with f14's.

You should go with Forgestar F14 so you can be internet famous.

Funny how back in the 90's TSW was known as Terribly Soft Wheels. TSW Blade was every ricers' weapon of choice.

A strong set of rims would be Ronal.

That's a very good looking setup!
I'm not a big fan of aftermarket wheels for these cars, but you did a great job matching the rims with the color of the car. Well done! :thumbsup:
