You use centercaps?

I don't think I've used a centercap (besides stock wheels) for... 12 years.

Yea. It doesnt look right on that wheel. They make some really nice flat metal ones with the enkei logo laser etched . I think they only fit certain models though. Plus quite a few cars cant take flat center caps

I like a lot of these wheels, but most are too heavy for the BRZ.

I agree with 90s civics I was just trying to point fun at the failure of a "evolution" that is the 2012 Civic

the BR-Z is light.... and the stock wheels probably weigh like 21 lbs anyway... most of these wheels im guessing are 21 lbs or less... so i dont see how they are too heavy

I personally think anything over 16lbs is too heavy on a 200hp car. Just IMO.

Of course I'd prefer lighter then 20lbs. I just can't see myself spending money on rims unless there at least 25% lighter than stock, and even then they'd half to be cheap.

I agree. That's why I'm eyeballing the PF01s. Even at a larger size (18x7.5) they're still 17.6lbs.

Yea, if you're gonna factor Strength / Weight / Price . There's nothing better than enkei, really.
