How to find such wheel? (LFA style)



Is there any forged wheel like this one?

This is LFA, but it is 20", I think the most suitable size for BRZ/GT86 is 18x7.5/ 18x8 , So could someone help to find some forged wheel of this sytle?

I think it is perfect, which combines performance and beauty.

Volk G25's look remarkably similar-ish.

Search eBay for 'lfa wheel' . There plenty of look-alikes.

Lookup ADV.1 wheels. Their 5.0 wheel is pretty close. I'd consider a set for my Z06 if they weren't 8K with tires, lol. LFA wheels are my favorite OEM wheel by far though, you have excellent taste.

Does anybody know if you could fit the new 2011-12 IS-F wheels on the FR-S? The fronts are a 19X8 with a 45 offset and the rears are 19X9 with a 55 offset. tire sizes are 245/30/19 and the rears are a 265/35/19. I know it sounds a little extreme but I am not familiar with what could work or not. Also, does anybody know of any aftermarket wheels that look similar to these wheels?

Lexus/Toyota wheels generally use 5x114.3mm bolt pattern. Subaru uses 5x100mm. The Subaru designed BRZ/FR-S uses 5x100mm.

Ah, nothing was said about them being cheap! He wanted forged (expensive right there), and for them to look like the LFA wheels. I feel that I met his requirement!

yes yes haha, you know, forged wheel is a must. We can not upgrade light BRZ with a much heavier wheel. it's expensive,and stock is good. But if we want to upgrade to 18" wheels, i think forged wheels is first consideration

Oh man, I am glad I found this post. I find the LFA wheels so gorgeous (the concavity, the curled spokes, the floating hub) and the closest I could find were these wheels...

http://www.pyspeed.com/LX520-OEM-Rep...m-lx520-19.htm

The Volk G25's look good but unfortunately look very different than the LFA awesomeness.

I am also considering the Corvette Centennial wheel http://gtcarlot.com/data/Chevrolet/C...-68228404.html

As you can see, there is a pattern I like... nice concaveness, floating hub and radiating spokes.
