I've been wanting to ask this too. You got me interested in them at the Hunt Valley C&C anniversary event.

@Racecomp Engineering I love your car! BTW Can you list the part # and where you ordered that front lip? Also I LOVE those wheels, but when I saw the price, wholly molly. But After on google, Enkei's Raijin look very close. Thanks for your post. My wheel search is over. will you running a square setup all around? Lastly with 18"s, will the RCE yellows give a decent drop enough to help fill in the fender gap?

Im keeping the size and doing Pirelli Trofeo R in 235/40-18 which is ACTUALLY 244mm wide. It dimensionally is a 245/35-18. But weighs 3 lbs less than the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. That combined with the 16 lb Enkei and the lite weight lugs will be a weight savings of 38lbs !

For the street I did the same BBS CH-R but in Titanium and Pirelli P ZERO's.

Those weight savings off the unsprung weight of the vehicle should be rather noticeable...

but if you see me in a GT3.....its my neighbors...

Jk

Nah the new STI will need some advance work to be up to speed when it hits. Thats all I can say at this time.

Selling the BRZ for me is like sending Brooklyn Decker home before she even walks in the door........
