Yeah, I know it'll be 1/2" taller overall. But a 1/4" increase in radius isn't too bad. The 18" rim thing makes it a bit difficult to get a close match without going to a much heavier tire. I'm sure I could fit a 245 under there with some planning, but that's a 4lb/tire difference or so in the worst place to put it.

In the grand scheme of things, this is all splitting hairs. I'm not going to be worrying about hundredths of a second in this car. Even worrying about 1lb is a bit excessive. So I'm trying to temper my choices with a bit of rationality.

Snoopy.....thank you for posting...I love those MR118.... I think you might had just nailed my next set of rims. The price is also reasonable.

Motegi's rims aren't always light but, their traklite are awesome. Also they are very good rims I've owed a set and nothing really bad about them, I'm considering some Motegi for my next car as well. MR125 it's the wheels on the BRZ in my sig

These new 119 they have out is kinda cool too

They still make them and they are really good wheels like the Fno1r and RPF1 but ofcourse Enkei has been around like forever so their wheels people are going to know them. They are really cheap though Motegi you can get a set for like 500$

For my BRZ im either going high end to volk, sticking to Work or just getting Enkei

Maybe XD 9 next for me, they don't cost passed 2K if you look in the right places.




I like how they kind of glow at night wonder why, this was a pic of my friend's SI I had CR kai on mine but he had these XD9

[rosuhere]

i like the 2.0s [less than 15lbs. for 17x8] o_0

hard to find back then and most likely discontinued by now, i'm sure...

Work Emotion 11R



love the decals but I wouldn't put all of them on.


Do you guys think that 16's are too small for the BRZ?

so what's the general consensus on the quality of varrstoen wheels?

Well from speaking to different people, they are better than Rotas but they might not be as light as Enkei's( certain models) They do make a pretty good TE37 copy that's very popular, and they do price their wheels decent.

[gt86mods]

I'm sure TE37's have been mentioned in this thread before, but I'm pretty sure that's what I'm gonna have to go with. The wheel looks fantastic on most cars and for some reason I feel it flows perfectly with the FR-S.

I'll probably get some flak for the color, but honestly I've always wanted a white car with orange, green, or teal wheels and I'm just gonna go for it. Hate if you want!

I was going to say, I've seen their vendors posting all over GenCoupe (I was considering one of those for a bit) and their te37 replicas are pretty damn nice and sell for a decent price.

I'm kind of torn between varrstoens, REAL te37's, and obviously the standard enkei rpf1.

Oh, and that work wheel that was like the second picture in the very beginning of this thread...too lazy to check

Edit: Nvm, its the Emotion CR Kai. Basically all comes down to whether or not I want to drop a small fortune on wheels. Guess it'll come down to my financial situation at the time.

I was thinking about these for the Black BRZ Limited just not sure if they would look ok, seems the wheel preview on Wheelsnext is broke or down to check it. Figured it might go with the whole black leather W/ red stiching theme on the inside.

[mikenogo]

Sucks that it's 5x100
That takes out a lot of wheel options out there. Especially the ones posted in this thread.
Conversion anyone?

Don't know what wheel you posted, I think it is Rota P45-F, but I alos would like an original 5 spoke Volk TE37 like the limited Nismo edition Volk LM-GT4.
