New Wheels

I'm thinking about getting new wheels. I'm tired of the stock ones. Anyone has any suggestions?

What style wheels do you like? What's your budget?
What size do you want?
What's the goal you want to achieve?
Etc.

There's too many variables to give you a wheel to buy. I'd suggest checking out the wheel directory.

I actually been looking around and I'm deciding to get the Ambit RE18 wheel. I'm not sure about the measurements though. I don't know the difference. I'm some what new to the car scene and I'm learning as I go.

As far as I know, the RE18 doesn't come in the BRZ bolt pattern of 5x100.
Whatever you get will need that bolt pattern unless you use adapter plates.

Do as much studying as you can on wheel size and offset, then decide what you can afford and what looks good to you.

This. If your budget is on the lower side, Ambit is pretty good for "cheap" wheels. High-ends are Volk, GramLights, Enkei, and etc.

Also, this car, just lower it a little bit to make it flush and your golden! Otherwise, nice choice of wheels dude!

Yup. Got a set of Tein Coils in the garage. Work is taking up all my time though.. Should have them on by Thursday!

As it was said, it all depends on your goals for the car and your budget! Once you have those two defined, it's much easier for us all to help guide you into the right set of wheels.

Or you can just browse through the Member's Car Journal section and see what you like
