TOM'S 4 spoke split wheels - thoughts? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Shoot me, I love them, the black one would be nice with a white/chrome outline...would be a nice theft deterrent for sho, haha

dori. · 01-30-2013, 10:38 AM

they're unique, I might fuck with them given the chance

look better in black than silver IMO

Definitely a hate or love kind of wheel. I for one love the throwback style and think that they look awesome on the TOM'S concept car.

they are "re-imagining" of the igetta wheel...
...and they did a terrible job.

dori. · 01-30-2013, 11:17 AM

probably would've looked better with the dish as well.

actually it's the same problem those new watanabe's had, no lip/dish

I love em! but, that said I've always liked oddly chunky wheels. Even as a kid I had those goofy mag wheels on my bicycle..

My concern would be weight. (16.3lbs isn't bad!) They're light I'd definitely run a set. Love or hate em, they're definitely different. This is one of those cars that's always going to look like all the others unless you step out and do something different.

edit;

who in the states sells these anyway?

norsamerican · 01-30-2013, 11:43 AM

ill take a free set

ZetaVI · 01-30-2013, 11:43 AM

Doesn't fit the car well.

funbeatsfast · 01-30-2013, 12:13 PM

These are pretty light, but WOW are they ugly. I've always been a proponent of function over form; wheels are an area where you can often achieve a little of both.

I like the looks of the wheels, but the fun is in pricing, check it out!

I thought about this thread last night and figured for a set of pretty unique wheels I could have both sets of the Enkei NT03's in custom color with hot autox tires AND VTO's classic lemans wheels WITH tires that would fit 3 of the 4 cars in the stable now.

We do!

Special import only of course, takes 3-4 weeks to get in.

If you want nostalgia, just rock these on 15's.

Rausner · 01-30-2013, 03:40 PM

I for one love them. Think they're awesome, but like posted earlier concave is sexier!
