Winning blue Gramlight xtremes?
 
What do you guys think of a set of winning blue Gramlight xtremes on a WRB BRZ? Too much blue? Or would the subtle blue of the wheels not look that bad? Anyone good at photoshop if it hasn't been done? I'm just interested but can't spend the money just to try it haha.

I think there are a few pictures of that combination floating around out there. It looks good, IMO. WRB is light enough to pull it off. Not so much with GBS.

I am going to have this exact setup soon! I was thinking exactly what you were thinking with the subtle blue and saw a WRB BRZ with the 19inch and it looked sexy af. Will post up pics when I get them mounted.

Yeah I think I'm set on trying this out. Does anyone have any pics of current setups or photoshop though to confirm my aspirations? But I think I'm gonna try this out anyway...muahaha

It's definitely tempting, I haven't come across any winning blue ones on a WRB, I've seen them on a white car. The photos were dark though.

I'm very close guys! I'm very nervous about trying this...I haven't gotten any comments on anyone against this.

So I'm looking for an 18" square setup, and I'll have coilovers. Suggestions on rim width and tire sizes? I want to just drop the car a bit, but if I can avoid camber adjustments is that possible? Input needed!

Who knows how long this will take to order as well...

DOOOO IT! :) Worst case, if you hate the finish get them powdercoated in your favourite colour ;)


The only size for the 57Xtremes that has a concave face is 18x9.5

I would suggest 18x9.5 +40 square with 255/35/18. Lower about an inch to an inch and a half. It's a bit on the wide side IMO for this car, but the flat faced versions suck :( You will need a degree of camber at least, I think they will poke without.

I just ordered a set for my RB, I think the color of the wheels would look great on a WRB BRZ, if youve seen winning blue wheels in real life they aren't actually all that blue unless its in the sun.
