My wheels have landed..Just like the 86/BRZ they are not very photogenic but they're gorgeous..

Polished 3" stepped lip.Center painted silver then face is machined then cleared..

Two piece
Work Seeker FX
Specs: 17x8.5" +35 'O' disk
Weight: It's not a track wheel so who cares

@Juvenile: very nice! Can't wait to see pics with them fully mounted on car with tires.

Btw: was that your choice of size and offset and was it a special order? ...or did you just buy whatever was in stock?

Where did you get them? How long did it take? How much?

I wonder if you can get these quickly in a 17x9" et30-35 without having to do a special order nor waiting super long.

Thanks man

Custom ordered this size/offset as these aren't available off the shelf, est delivery from go to whoa was 12 weeks but they arrived in 10.... Cost was a little over 2k AUD ..

So you would have to wait a while for what your after unfortunately..

Purchased from JDM Concept,highly recommend them..

Mounted up and lovin em,but planning to paint the centers soon.Don't like the machined face but the lip is awesome.Anyway bought a set of Bridgestone RE070's fitted them but came straight back off,too chunky for this style of rim so fitted my stock Michelin rubber,much better.

Are those RE070 better than RE11a for track/AutoX? I see they're 140 utgq (re11a is only 200 utgq).

Thank you,they're 225/45/17 and look great but not on this wheel, I think they'd be too wide for the 7" stock rim too.. Only side pic I have till I paint them and more drop like your one

I can't really comment on either tire as I've never had them before.

Side pic looks very nice. I think they look perfectly fine and nice silver. What are you going to paint it? I hope not shiny black...I think wheels with shiny black centers with a polished lip looks kinda cheap/cheesy (reminds me of knockoff wheels) ...just my opinion though. On the other hand, some kind of gunmetal, gold, bronze or highlighter/bright/unique color would look ill doh

Thanks man and I agree with you 100% .These come with satin black centers as well but with a silver/black theme they'd look like 15" . Quite deceiving. Yeah I'm thinking a bronze/brown color something similar to slate74 BBS wheels
