OPTI WHEELS anyone ever had a set? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Breadstickz · 09-18-2017, 12:57 PM

Hey all so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with OPTI Wheels, Specifically the JR3 model rims, but really I was wondering if anyone had any history dealing with them? went to the OPTI Wheels website and they say they're a Canadian Brand but does not state where they source their wheels or how they are made. I can't seem to find any reviews of the company at all and while shopping for winter rims and tires a company well known in Toronto Simply Tires recommended them as a alternative to enkei VR5s. but with winter road conditions being so crappy i'm not sure Saving 300 for a set of rims is worth the hassle of bent or cracked rims from potholes. Any input on OPTI Wheels in general or with the JR3 Model would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.

Don't think of it as saving 300 bucks.
Think of it as saving your car from being totaled.
And possibly saving your life.
With enkei's they will have a longer product life and you will be able to order them from almost anywhere years down the road if they are damaged or until they are discontinued.
They will also be tested for strength and certified, while grey market wheels probably won't be.
