Dilemma of choosing wheels : /
 
Having a dilemma of choosing my wheels so i thought to myself why not ask my friendly neighbours on FT86 forums.

I currently sold a set of BBS LM rebarreled to 17 x 8/9 35+ and was planning to go get a set of work meister m1 3p in 18 x 8.5/9.5 32+ but then my friend has to go blabbering and tell me to get a set of ce28 ;/ now im not sure what i want . . the ce28 would be nice for trackdays/performance but i dont track or autocross very often (once or twice a year) but i love the m1 for the bbs lm look but in 18s that i always wished for. . .

tracked my self a set of 17 ce28rt in 17x8.5 44+ with federals 595 rsr

both same price except the meister have no tyres and i know the meisters are 8lb heaviers too and comes with no tyres(tires) . . but my mum told me to always get what you like the most ;/

What would you do in my situation? would you think logically or emotionally?

Cheers guys

In the end it's your car, if you track your car that little, I'd say go with the meisters. They look friggin sick and would be a bit more beneficial as a daily driver, and you could just grab some Enkei RPF-1s on the side to use for track day! The rpfs are super cheap (~$800 for the set) and are very very light - ~16lbs a wheel if you grab some 17s.

The CE28S are awesome track wheels and very light, but rather expensive for something you'll be doing very little of, and don't look all that eye-catching tbh.

meisters!

Personally, I'm not into CE28s.. They look cheap to me.

BBS LMs are cool but I'm kinda so-so on mesh style wheels for this car.

Meisters look killer on this car but a million people already have them.



Just go with whatever YOU would like to walk out and see in the driveway/garage every morning.

I agree, get what you want for what you do the most.

If you want to make a concession to performance, keep it a square setup. Staggered on this car adds unneeded understeer.
