I’ve been lurking here for a while, but now that I’ve come across something that can’t be answered with “read the sticky, noob” I figured i’d Make a post...

I’m the proud new owner of a BRZ Limited 2013 in pearl white.

And spring (even though it doesn’t feel like it), means it’s time to sort out summer wheels and tires.

My visual goal for the car is to keep it pretty subtle, but with a classic sportscar/racecar twist. For the interior I’m staying away from carbon fiber and Bright colors, going with perforated leather and alcantara to cover up the silver plastic accents. On the outside, I’m thinking a ducktail spoiler and a few other small touches. One idea I’m kicking around is louvered plexiglass quarter windows, or maybe some mild hand pressed louvers on the hood.

But I’m stuck as to wheels. If I can’t come up with anything I’ll go with black RPF 1s and bronze steel lugs (and ARP studs, because screw stripped studs), but I’m looking for something a little more unique and classic, and I didn’t find anything in the wheel directory or any of the meta threads.

Preferred fitment would be 17x9 with 245/40/17

So far I’ve found the Rota Retro 2s but they basically don’t exist, and custom rotiforms would be way too much money for a 10k car. Momo Heritege 6s caught my eye too, with that vintage Porsche feel, but again, 2k in wheels on a 10k car.

My inspiration is things like classic aircooled Porsches, 80’s GT cars, and similar stuff.

Examples:

Rota Retro 2’s on Templar’s BRZ (of course. This thing is gorgeous): http://www.rotawheels.com/wp-content..._(4)%20(1).jpg

And Magnus Walker’s Urban Outlaw 277: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/08...g?v=1547346981

Any ideas?
