Anybody got 16 inch wheels on their FR-S /BRZ?

I thought they were down 16lbs per corner?

when I weighted them it came to 30lbs loss total not 32 as advertised. So 15lbs per corner

Thanks, Tom. Still a huge loss in one shot.

Bronze is a good option. Gunmetal Grey is my fallback.

I wanted to add my new (old) setup:

Rays Volk TE37 16x7 et33 with Hankook R-S4 205/55R16

Not the fastest set-up, but a nice mix of light, unique, and cheap to run!

Love 16's, nothing better for real world roads

Are you tracking the R-S4s or autocrossing on them? I'd be interested to hear your feedback if tracking, and compare them to what you've used in the past...

Man...those are the chunkiest looking 225/55s I've ever seen...they fill up the fenders WAY more than my ExtremeContact Sports or my RT-615K+. How much are you lowered?

EDIT: Just realized now that they're 225/55s, not 50s. I like 'em!

This was my first track day (Thunderhill 5 Mile) with this car and on these tires, so my feedback compared to other options apples to apples is limited.

In isolation, I'd say that warmed up quickly and maintained grip throughout the 20 minute sessions all day without a hiccup.

They didn't roll onto the shoulder as much as I was afraid they might, given my setup is just crash bolts and '18 tS springs/dampers, resulting in 1.5 degrees of camber up front.

Overall I'm happy with them after day 1.

Thanks mate, yeah, standard road height and it fills out nicely.

More air in a 16" tire helps to have a better temperature and not getting too hot.

I'm on my 4th set of 205/55 R16 RS-3's. Moving to the same size in RS-4 or maybe 225/50 R16

What would you like to know? I've only driven on stockers prior but have had ride along's in many who have larger 17's

They're more playful, for sure.
