I sold them 1000 miles after I bought the car.

They look better in person than in pictures, but I ended up plastidipping them black and I like them much more, maybe if they are more flush, maybe like 10-15mm it would be great.

The stockies suits whiteout the best IMO. Just add a little drop and you can't even tell that they're stocks. I had numerous people ask me about them if they were aftermarket.

I eventually liked them more than when I first got the car so, yeah, they grew on me too. The 2-tone color scheme and decently light weight impressed me for a factory wheel. I thought it was clever how it has 15 spokes but the 2-tone hides 5 of them. They're sitting stacked in my garage now but when I ever move back to SoCal I want to see how they look on my mom's pearl white Prius

I came across this pic uploaded to Facebook in late January of Chief Engineer Tada-san and Team 86 testing in snow. Not sure if these are new factory wheels or aftermarket:

Im the opposite. Before I ever saw the car in person I thought the wheels were ugly. When I saw the car sitting at the dealer I fell in love with the sparkley wheels. I do wish it wouldve been one color instead of two because I hate the silver trim.

The more I see them, the more I don't mind them... I actually dig them on Argento.
Would I switch them out? Yes. Will I probably wait for the perfect set that still compliments what the car does best? Absolutely. |

My winters are on my factory wheels. As long as I live somewhere that gets temps lower than 50* during the winter months.. I'll keep the factory wheels lol

Obviously, most of you have no taste, ha ha!
The stockies are goddamn awful. I remember when I was at the dealership, there was an 86 parked next to a Tarago, and goddamn, I think they were the same wheels. I'm literally driving out of the dealership driveway and into my undercar specialist where I'll be fitting my new suspension and NEW WHEELS. I guess they'll be good to tear up a some point... |
