5 different wheel choices
 
I mocked up the following 17s-, Gunmetal TWS T66F, BBS RF, Rota Titans in Silver and hyperblack, even considered 2017MY OEM wheels.

What do you guys think? My heart tells me T66, but surprisingly it feels like the wheel just vanishes/dull! The RF feels like oem+ to me, titans are surprisingly good looking! I was going for high contrast but the silver titans are actually pretty classic sportscar looking!

I think pick what you want not what the masses want.
They will all look the same when going down the road.

Sorry man, really picky on these big spends (for me), i took a curveball and got a catback first, but now i am however really decided on 17s, so its really just down to these.

You have looked at pricing I'm assuming? TWS and BBS are different price point from Rota

I always go for a silver wheel. They look great

I say spend the money on a big brake kit. Looks way better and has function. Nothing says badass like 13" rotors and a fat 6 piston caliper painted red.

+1

Option 3, too much of a contrast with your car being white.



Black wheels make no sense to me, you can have the most beautiful styled wheels around but all detail and definition is lost in black. Its like when someone posts up a photo of their new black wheels, I end up turning the brightness up on my screen to see what they've actually fitted. Great.

Out of those particular options I would go with the BBS. They look nice, you don't see them every day on this car, and they're quality.


You state 17+ wheels, why not the PP wheels? :iono:


Have you looked at the Apex ARC8s? Seems like its in the middle of your pricing, quality wheel, great fitment, and I know its more of a mesh and not split spoke but somewhat similar design.

If he drops to 16's, his brakes will look bigger AND he'll have a better ride. lol

If you want to go all or nothing have you considered TE37SL in 17x9.5 in pressed graphite? They're light, timeless, and this colour looks great on white! Just my 0.2 cents. Are you planning on tracking at all on you aftermarket rims? Or is this strictly a daily OP?

Bit too wide for me! its a DD + canyon, and maybe some autox, if ever i do track, it will be for fun, and not competitive :)
