XXR 530 or similar mesh-style...in 17"? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Spacemane969 · 04-24-2016, 10:41 PM

Hey guys,
I've been on this sub searching relentlessly for too long. I need a new set of tires asap and I'm trying to put the whole wheel package together.

I'm leaning about 95% to sticking with stock 17" for handling and ride/mpgs... but I really really dig the mesh style of the xxr 530/enkei raijin(only available in 18). But I've yet to see an 86 with this style in 17s. I have a feeling it would look just too ricey/budget. That's really the only concern, not having a clue how they'll turn out.

If I decide otherwise I'll just try to pick up a set of xxr 527 in 17...but I just drool over the look of the 530s... the sportiness and aggressiveness is off the charts but like I said that's all in 18 and I'm looking to stay close to stock.

Any opinions on the look of this style in 17?

Thanks.

Enkei raijin.

It's a pretty generic German style rim there are countless out there like it. Enkei also make the EKM3 in 17.

Thanks i'll check them out. Juat cautious about this style looking weird in anything but 18". I haven't found any references photos of them on an 86 to make a call.

There's also the Kosei K8R in 17x8, just 16.5lbs a wheel and they're less than $200 a piece on tirerack.

@Spacemane969 there's also Apex Arc-8 and ambit wheels that make a mesh style which fit our cars.
