Oem wheels with no tires?
 
Looking to do some autox and need a spare set of wheels for summer only tires. Anyone locally selling a bare set of wheels?

What class are you planning on running? If you're going to use stock wheels for auto-x, you'd probably want to go with an R compound, no?

PS - love that there's another RVA 86 owner around!

Looks like stx. I may get a few runs in stock before I change the springs though. Probably will run star spec IIs

I saw a red fr-s off midlo & courthouse Sunday.

If you're going STX i'd say save your money on buying a set of stock wheels, buy some 17x8's. Much better option and allows you to put some more rubber down. I'm on 17x8 RPF-1's with 245 Continental ExtremeContact DW's and love them.

I haven found a set of wheels I like enough is the issue. How do you like the dw's? Was thinking about getting the all season dw's.

Love the DW's. I've had star specs, kumho mx's, hankook rs2's and azenis before (granted, the only other one i've driven on the BRZ is the hankook's, the rest were on other vehicles).

I prefer the DW's. 95% of the dry handling, but they're awesome in the rain too.
