Same Here, plus you will spend a left nut to find rims that are truly hub-centric. Hub rings are fine but wheels with a 56.1 mm center bore will ride more true.

Didn't like them in pics, but in person they grew on me. Wish they had a "dish" to them though. At 20 pounds, they're not the lightest that they could be. I'll probably swap them for gold RPF1's at some point.

"MAT PROCESS: Shaping by the MAT process reduces wheel weight by 10%-15%. Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lbs."

Their 17x8 rims are 16lbs - so 4lbs lighter per corner than stock, or 16lbs less unsprung weight. If their statement above is true, that would mean the car would drive like I did 320 pounds of weight reduction? I dunno - but I'm expecting a difference. (not ready to sink $2k+ plus into rims and tires for my DD at this point, but when I wear out those Primacys, look out!

I love the fact that they go with my Asphalt so well.

BRZranger · 08-16-2012, 03:03 AM

I like them, but I don't love them. I have gotten a lot of compliments on them too.

Opie · 08-16-2012, 07:44 AM

I would love them more if they were 17x8

In the past couple of days I've gotten alot of compliments on the rims. Yesterday this dude ran up to my BRZ as I was leaving a parking lot saying how much he liked the car and he said "Did you put these rims on?"

I told him they were stock and he was flipping out. A couple of girls today that hangout at a couple of the same places as me said they loved the rims.

Also, I really like the tires. It's so much funner to lose a little grip intentionally and slide the tail end of the car out. I LOVE when it rains!

I LOVE them, not planning on replacing them at all.

they're okay looking, but annoying as hell to clean

AbidingDude · 08-16-2012, 10:02 AM

I love them, plain and simple.

white_knight · 08-16-2012, 10:06 AM

I disagree with everyone.

They look awful.

Jayde · 08-16-2012, 10:10 AM

I like them too. However, I think they would like better with say a 1 inch drop or something.

ToxicSneakers · 08-16-2012, 10:10 AM

If the stock wheel was an option we would, I think most of us anyway, have paid extra to get them instead of the "standard" wheel. But, if the FR-S had a bunch of oem non-performance related extras we would probably pass. I like what Scion did for me.

jadewbj · 08-16-2012, 10:14 AM

I guess they are polarizing. Either you love or hate them. I am on the hate side.

Neziah · 08-16-2012, 10:42 AM

Not exactly what I would pick out if I had my choice of any wheel, but I am pretty happy with them for a stock wheel. I put the new-ish tires off of my old car on them when I picked up the FR-S, so I'll wait till I wear them out before I upgrade.
