Anyone know what wheels these are? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Very sad. Panasport does not make a wheel that fits the FR-S, at least according to them.

Ha! I called them today as well. I asked specifically if they made a 17x8, 5x100, ~36 offset. The guy who answered the phone (nice guy) said that they had discontinued making anything in a 17, and he checked their factory inventory, but they didn't have anything in 17 leftover.

There's "retro" and there's "ugly". Those wheels are not retro.

Watanabes are similar in design and come in 17s. However they are a bit on the heavy side.

You didn't look at these options?

Minilite is the original, everything else are copies.

I don't need a lesson in automotive history, thanks. Or aesthetics either.

Yes. I don't like the Minilites, and the Rota RKR's are looking good.

s2d4 · 05-17-2013, 02:07 PM

RKR are Watanabe copies.
RB are minilite copies, so is the panasport.

Of those, I like the Panasport the best. Who cares who copies who?

Certain Panasport 3 Piece wheels come in sizes up toi 17, and can be ordered for FR-S PCD and offset. I looked into it a while ago before I got my Hayashi. Pretty spendy though and there's a mnimum number of sets that need to be ordered to get them made.

Those are sick!!! Mount some tires with the smooth sidewall facing out and it'd be a nice look. E.g. Uniroyal Tiger Paw with the smooth sidewall out. I know they aren't the best tire, but just imagine the look.
