Work Emotion CR Kiwami questions!

Hello, everyone! I'm literally just a few clicks away from purchasing some new wheels for my BRZ and the top contender right now are these

http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/work...l#.WBJTWlBlC1E

I like to drive through some canyon roads about once or twice a week and also track the car when I can, my question is, will running this wheel setup with some 225 or 235 tires be any better performance over stock or is there any other set of wheel/tire setup that you can recommend to get better performance overall? Im running on H&R lowering springs aswell, about a 1"-1.5" drop I believe. Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it!

It depends what tire you run. If you're planning on running an all season 225 or 235, it'll probably yield less grip. I'd suggest a 235 summer tire for the 8.5 width. 225s will look a bit stretched.

A little side note. Despite the cr's being advertised as a light wheel, they're relatively heavy.

Hey, thanks for the reply! I decided to go with some 17x9 rpf's wrapped in 245s should be better performance that way. Im making this my weekend/track car so i prefer the performance

Good call on the 17's. RPF's will definitely be lighter than the Kiwami's in 17's. I should know. 🙈
