Call us indecisive, but we can't keep a set of wheels on our car for more than a week - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

WheelDude.com · 11-08-2012, 06:11 PM

Just mounted a set of Rota MXR's on our shop FRS

The specs are 18x8.5 +44 front and 18x9.5 +38 rear

The color is Royal Silver and the tire sizing is 225.40.18 front and 255.35.18 rear

We are lowered on KW Variant 3 coilovers, which is a night and day difference from any spring setup...not to mention the super nice stance they give the car

What do you guys think?

Wow, I like this setup a lot better than the previous one. Looks gooood!

I love it. But If I were you I'd take the rota wheel caps off and black out the headlights.

Asphaltfrs1 · 11-08-2012, 09:09 PM

It looks perfect. I like how the wheels make the headlights look good. Everything seems to go well together, the painted side markers is the cherry on top. Love it!

Also, what is the weight of those wheels?

Wondering the same thing, really like the look, wondering if 8.5 is a lot heavier than stock. Might consider running the 8.5 all around if the weight isn't too bad.

Looking good. I like.

Yes I second this. the wheels look great with the silver badges, logos, and headlights. Looks great. It's a tough call. some will go for the black and white theme but I am leaning towards this. Silver and white. :happy0180:

headlights maybe, but removing the caps wouldn't really make sense as we're marketing Rota wheels since that's what we sell.

We are working on a cleaner new cap design though.
