Anyone else hate the stock 2-tone wheels?? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Kimsey47 · 07-29-2012, 01:16 PM

I'll admit that I didn't like the stock two tone until I saw my DGM with them in person... They've grown on me. Thanks for sharing what they'd looked like in a single tone though! I think for the DGM I'll be sticking with the two-tones for a while... On the red I can't grasp if I like this look or not though... These cars always look so different until you see one in the flesh so I'd have to see this in person to tell you my actual opinion!

The wheels look great. A nice, cheap alternative to getting new wheels. I would like to see gloss black on my car.

I never liked the stock wheels in photos, but they've grown on me seeing them in person.

I'm not a fan of the stock wheels myself, but they look 10x better the way you did them. NICE!!!

I like it, but at $50 a rim + the costs of unmounting and remounting the tires, that's pretty pricey.

Waiting until you need a new set of tires might not be a bad plan.

I'm not digging the all silver look. Looking very busy now. I actually like the stock wheels now that I've had my car a while. I'm still going to put some after market wheels on it sometime though.

Im a technician at Toyota so the dismounting and mounting didn't cost me anything, otherwise it could of got pricey.

Thanks for the feed back guys! Wanted to do something different.
These are going to be my track wheels once my wheels come in. As for the color I wanted something stock looking but different.

JohnATL · 07-29-2012, 03:58 PM

Looks very nice. I'd like to see someone black them out.

TOMIMOTO · 07-29-2012, 04:02 PM

Wow! It looks amazingly better. Subaru could have even cut some costs by making them one color.

With the two-tone I honestly feel they are some of the ugliest stock rims ever.

With the rims being one color they remind me of the STi Limited BBS rims.

Yup, I agree the stock wheels are not the prettiest things around. I like your paint solution and I think it enhances your car. Since I plan to use my stock wheels for winter snow tire duty, I don't care enough to copy your idea though.

Nice job. I'm really impressed with how straight sliver rims look on red/orange cars here. Looks really nice man!

rcm47 · 07-29-2012, 06:21 PM

Looks better. They remind me of the new WRX stock wheels.

OrbitalEllipses · 07-29-2012, 06:35 PM

Looks way better. You're an innovator!

BRAWL · 07-29-2012, 06:39 PM

I like the fact that they are busy. Think it suits the car, especially in orange.

Don't think I will do this though as I will put the $200+ on the new rims which are yet to be decided.
