If you like them, go ahead. They're lighter than stock, Enkei is good quality, and they're a good price. I'm not really seeing a downside...

I've been thinking these in bronze on black.

Yep I'm leaning towards the EV5s myself, as other wheels I like are just way too expensive for the wallet at the moment lol.

Does anyone have these on Asphalt yet? Photoshop would be awesome if someone has the time.

I know we are talking more $, especially due to tires but...


I'd keep the stock wheels and tires and get the Enkeis 1.5" wider with wider stickier rubber.

Now you can swap as you wish and have a nice track day set.

I have a Raven FR-S with the full 5:AD set as well. This pic shows me what if...

I will resist lowering the vehicle as the stock suspension works great and I dont want to mess with geometry/wheel travel.

Gotta try and ignore wheel gap. Form to achieve function...

For the money, these seem like a deal. Not a wallet breaker, look decent, and don't weigh too much :thumbup:

i agree. i was about to go TSW..but dang almost 250/per -- + tires since its bigger. i just want slight mod and dont want to spend way too much either. stupid economy u know...

yea, i may pull the trigger on these. i keep going into the garage and looking at my stock rims and i just think they make the car look dull... thats the only part that looks dull. :)

Since I'm in Australia the stock GT 86 wheels aren't actually too bad looking, albeit they're 16" they sort of resemble watanabi's...I'm all for moving away from the stock look however.

Oh wow I like those!

The only thing I felt that the OPs rims were missing was the concavity that this one had but still good choice

Do you know the offset on these? I need to add that to the specs.
