PLEASE help me choose a wheel already - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Nickel · 09-12-2015, 03:13 AM

I've had my 10 Series since February and have no Earthly idea what aftermarket wheel I want. I know I want an 18X9 with an offset around +20, nothing too aggressive. I have flat black XXR 530 +20 on my NA Miata and love them so much that I was going to get them for this car but I don't want the same wheel on 2 cars and I've had a long history of black wheels. For the ignition silver I was thinking of a color like gunmetal grey or something. I think the Avid AV-06's look pretty nice but I can't find an FR-S with them and 9.5" is pretty wide. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Just incase you missed this sticky: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535

That should keep you busy for a few days or weeks...

I've looked at that quite a few times but it did help referencing again so thanks. I think I'm going to go with the Avid AV-06, I really think it'll look great. I have TRD springs currently so at most I'll have to get a roll which isn't a problem.

If you're sticking to rep wheels, here is one that I thought about using as a daily set.

You might want to research what width and offset you can get away with on the TRD spring drop. I know that some wheels rub if you get them too wide with a low offset.

Clearly, you need these...

Those ^ have won the prestigious "NWFRS award for excellence" two years in a row. Also they're cheap.

My local DiscountTire matched that price.

Nope, XXR makes a similar wheel. It's just too bland for me and a lot of people have a similar wheel. If I were doing a spoked wheel, it would be the XXR 530 but I already have those on my Miata so I want something different.

so im guessing your budget is a couple bucks for wheels?

9" +20 isn't "too aggressive"? Great.
