Anyone can recommend a good 16 inch wheel?

Not really. As you can see, this is my DD wheel. Don't want to spend too much. Wife is also getting impatient. She wants a new SUV for her. The request is not unreasonable because our current SUV is getting old. Cannot sell the old SUV either b/c it is reserved for daughter. So I might sell BRZ in near future. Don't want to put too much money now.

They are $230 per wheel in 16x7 +35 which fits great and is super light. I have them on my car.

Shouldn't 5mm spacer be closer to OE specs? Any link for such spacers and lug bolts?


This is getting more complicated. If I simply ignore the offset difference, what is the negative consequence? Wrong alignment? bad handling? Man, I really want those Australian OE 16 inch wheels.

Thanks. So your wheel will poke out by 13mm each side. You don't need to do anything else and it won't cause any problems? That is great.

Tire rack has 81 to choose from in a 16x7 5x100 bolt pattern

Just add the 205/55 R16 tires and you're done.

Looks like this (slightly lowered, but I had them at stock height too).

You don't need anything else.

I looked around on tire rack. This is the best wheel for this size. Looks really nice too.

If you want cheaper than rpf1, i like enkei ekm3. $165 a wheel in 17x7. It's a bbs LM knockoff. Ekm3 are my winters. 18x8 for summer.

I did the same thing for the same reasons.

Cost, weight, ride quality, and aesthetics were my
priorities. I went with the Konig Oversteer in 16" x 7.5"
They're not crazy light or glamorous but I still like them.

I'll be selling my Enkeis with Blizzaks soon btw...

These seem like the best value out there for 16's...lighter than OEM, perfect width for a 225/50 tire, good looking, and affordable.

That's my guess as well. I just found that on Wheel Directory.
