You guys have these @ your shop?

Also, You guys will tune FRS and BRZ as well? Since you guys specialize in GTR's. I ask cuz I want a loyal local tuner!

These are heavy at nearly 23lbs for the 18x7.5

The Raijins, while looking sweet, have an unknown weight. Enkei is really tight lipped and noone seems to have weighed them. One rumor has a 18x9 wheel at 20.3 lbs. Unless there's some official weights, I won't consider them for the BRZ.

One interesting thing bout the Raijins is that Tirerack said the 18x9.5 will fit in the rear. If you're getting these for the looks more than the performance, then Tire rack has a staggered setup that should work.

enkei raijin 18x9.5 +15 is about 22 lbs on a bathroom scale. the rpf1 weighs about 18 lbs in that size...

Yeah, so no go on that for me.

Aren't the 8J about 20lbs? Still kinda heavy but not too bad. They are more looks oriented than performance oriented...

yeah im trying to keep the wheel weight under 18 personally. but i have a while to figure out my wheel choice lol

[Draco-REX]

So my rim/tire wavering continues, but I think I'm starting to come to a decision.

I'm strongly leaning towards a 17-18lb 17x8 wheel with a 25lb 235/40-17 tire now. It'll be a 1-2lb gain per corner (vs 20lb rim + 21lb tire) which is acceptable for the higher grip level. I could shave that gain and more by going with RS3 tires, but I want the crisper turn-in that the tires with heavier sidewalls provide (Z1* spec most likely).

So I'm thinking 17x8+45 Enkei PF01 or TSW Nurburgring, both are around 17.5lbs.

I'd love to go with the super light Enkei RPF1 or OZ Racing Alleggerita, but I just don't like how either look.

[ESBjiujitsu]

pretty much exactly what im looking for!!! Trying to decide on which enki's basically lol I like them all and they are the most reasonably priced light weight rims with great quality.

LOL that's where I was. Now I'm back to 215/45/17s with AD08s to try first, then if I still want more grip I'd go 235. IMO 235/40s would be better on 9" wheels, but those are a bit hard to find.. 6ULRs I guess... ugly arse wheel though IMO.

Since I'm going WRB I think I might be able to pull off gold RPF1s.. otherwise I agree they aren't awesome looking so I'd either go with black RPF1s or some PF01s.

I like the Alleggerita look but the price (of the HLTs anyways) is a bit too steep IMO.

The Ultraleggeras might not look too bad on the car either.

Too bad the Kosei K4Rs are only avail in 17x7 (according to TR).

I feel exactly the same way about those two wheels. 17 X 8 17.3 lbs PF01s look much better but it's hard to argue with the 17 X 8 RPF1's 15.6 lbs... Also the Star Specs in 235/40R17 is 24lbs.

The UltraLeggeras look nice, and are light at 17lbs for a 17x8. But the offset is +48. Granted it's only 3mm off the +45s I listed, but I'm worried about the clearance in the front.

The AD08s are a nice tire. They seem to rate nearly the same as the Z1*. However the Z1* is noticeably cheaper than the AD08. It would come down to appearance, and I'm not sure the Yoko's design is worth $80 to me..
