Which ones do you like to replace the stock
Just need some help on these 3 ... wanted to throw it out there and see if you guys had any comments on the choices..
i decided to stick with the 17's.. so only going as far as 17x8. FR-S is black/Raven here are the three. let me know. any input welcome. all cost about the same -- weigh about the same too- all very nice. 17x8 TSW - Nurburgring (Gunmetal w/ Mirror Face) 17x8 Enkei PF01 17x8 Rota Grid - Hyper Black (5x100/e38/56.1) WHICH WOULD U THINK would look good on the dark FR-S ? |

I ended up with the PF01. I picked it because it looked pretty good, and is fairly light. These are 17x8 +35.

The Nurburgrings are really growing on me, although I'm a big fan of Enkei. Both of those are relatively light.
I'd think the two-tone TSWs would look good on a dark car.

PF01 would be my first choice out of those, TSW would be next but in matte gunmetal or get the Interlagos in black...

It depends on the style you're going for. These three wheels are all different in terms of the overall look. Personally, I like the first option. Dresses the car up for a more exotic look versus the last option is more aggressive and sporty. I'm a dress shoe kind of guy than sneakers.

I prefer Enkei overall, but the Rota's like mentioned above say sporty, they will give you a nice "stance" after lowering etc. TSW will give you a upper class look and the Enkei's are an in between best of both worlds.

i have seen alot of dark cars with the Nurbergers in gunmetal and they are fine too - a subtle look but im wondering if the flashy mirror-loooks will get on my nerve later. but i agree- i do think it gives it a grown-up/exotic look. those Rota look cool too - way way too many choices. ive been at this for wks and still cant nail anything down. just alot of money and i guess eventuall ywhatever feels right... and just go with it. thanks man.

i think you are right. i dont care too much about performance - im not tracking this - and either way ill prob save 2-3lbs vs stock.
i had discount order me 1 to look at .. in silver -- with no pressure to buy. they said they would put it up and put the rim on the car if i wanted to see how it looks - i wish they can put a dam tire on but u know mount them and they are yours. i will see in a few dys. i also like the gunmetal look too on black.. here ar some pics from another thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18462
