TRD Japan > TRD USA imo

most of the TRD USA parts are rebranded third party products that were not even designed or manufactured by Toyota and should not be affiliated with Toyota.

imo this is the proper TRD wheel to put on the 86 if you decide to stick with the TRD "brand":



There are many reasons people put aftermarket wheels on their cars. For those who are running wider rubbers to improve performance on the track, I would have to say function > form, and people tend to find wheels that have the appropriate offset and width within an acceptable budget. On a street/show car, there are plenty of brands and styles that do not "look like a used Accord driven by a nineteen-year-old." Sticking with JDM brands, some of the ones that comes to mind are Rays (Volk), Wedssport, Advans, Work, SSR, etc. There are other non JDM brands that are really good quality such as BBS.

On the other hand there are a lot of replica wheels that looks good, inexpensive, but are heavy and weaker than genuine wheels. Just remember when it comes to wheels, it is almost always true that you get what you paid for. If you dont mind used wheels you can pick up a quality used set for a good deal if you look hard enough.

Good luck!
