Hey all,
Last night a couple of us were chatting about wheels for my black BRZ. Well today I went and paid for a set..
Here is what I got:
Enkei RPF1 17 x 9 +35
Toyo R1R 235 40 17 - 2%

They will have them ready Monday, so I still have time to change my mind. Is anybody in the group running these, I think someone is? I want to make sure these will work with any future upgrades (racing suspension/brakes) or whatever without any problems if I decide to start tracking it. (I also won't be using these in the winter) Essentially, would the 18x9.5 have issues if I installed the other performance parts on later? Is this actually the best wheel size for the track+BRZ? I went to JRP as recommended and they seemed confident this was a good setup, and that the other wheels would have rubbing issues, but it's always nice to hear opinions.
Thanks.
