Hi, It's khcho19 again.

I know I have got some haters because I had a lot of questions recently.

But, I mean.. I just got a new BRZ man.... I have to make this baby the best BRZ in the world.

That said, please give your opinion on 2 different wheels below (10spoke and 15 spoke).

Which one do you think is better looking with blue BRZ?

I know I should follow my heart, but I also want to hear your opinions.

It will be appreciated if you share your thought.

Thank you!

If i had to choose between just those two? STI wheels 100%.

If you are serious about the first statement, then my opinion is that those are the wrong two wheels to be choosing from.

I don't know if these will make your car the "best", but since you like the multi spoke....

Enkei RS05 is a good wheel.

Check out this thread for a plethora of ideas of wheels beyond those two. There are also threads for each wheel to determine things like sizing and supplemental upgrade requirements. You may find one you like better than both.

Ultimately it's you who has to live with them, so you do what you want. Forget about what we want.

I think the 15-spoke STI wheel looks better cosmetically. If you get them, do invest in a ceramic coating and a Speed Master Brush...they are going to be a bit of a pain in the ass to upkeep if you are anal about clean wheels.

However, unless you can find a killer good deal, you're generally looking at a pretty penny to purchase an OEM wheel and, ultimately, you are winding up with an end product in which there are 70000 bazillion others exactly like it. There are a lot of good aftermarket brands that make strong, light, affordable wheels - the brands I have had experience with are Enkei and Ray's Gram Lights, both of which likely are going to offer equal-to-superior wheels for less than an OEM replacement (and there are a ton of well-liked brands...some of which have 17 inch offerings that will clear the Brembos should you wish to stay 17-inch). This might leave you more money for either, A) better tires, or B) booze. Just my opinion tho...
