Anyone Ever Heard of F1R Wheels? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I found these wheels while browsing. Anyone hear anything about the company quality wise? I really like the look and may get them in the summer. These are 18 x 9.5 +35

Looks like another company just making cheap rep wheels.

Should be fine for the street. Don't expect quailty though, expect XXR quality wheels.

doesn't look like SSR's logo at all

17x9 +38 is 20.5lbs and $190 msrp. Looks like pricing in between xxr and rota. Not a fan of the dual drilled bolt pattern. For reference, the Rota Titan in 17x9 +42 is just under 18lbs, IIRC.

and rather amazing their "F18" wheel looks identical to Forgestar's F14...dunno why they(F1R) couldn't count the number of spokes and use that in the wheel name. Oh wait, yes I do.

and the 18's are in the 22.xx lbs range...getting pretty heavy

Also look very similar to TSW Interlagos. From one of the pictures, I can see that they take a lot of weight to get balanced properly, not necessarily a problem just an observation.

Funny enough I thought of SSR when I first saw the logo, I'm sure if you compare though is not.

wow, good catch. Nearly a 1/4 of the wheel has weights.

To be fair though, the tire itself could be really messed up or something. So the wheel/tire itself would need to be tested to verify

yomny · 03-02-2015, 03:49 PM

Damn that is a lot of weights. I thought my Rotas were bad lol.

There could be more too, a second row of weights just behind the visible one. I've seen it done many times. Budget shops do that kind of thing a lot.

pretty bad haha...

"weird, this wheel is out of round, or the tire is messed up?!"

"ah, throw some more weights on it!"

So what are some better quality wheels with the same design and gold/bronze finish? I don't like how the spokes on the rota titans get smaller towards the edge of the rim.

Just threw on a new set of F1R's booth at Stancenation.
