My wheel dilemma is being sorted however. I was really keen in getting tws 18x9" T-66F wheels however their arrival would have been July-August and frankly that's no good as our driving seasons of decent weather are far too short. I sold my Rotas to a nice fellow for a good deal so all is well.

I needed a good spare set still however so for now I grabbed some Wedsport 17x9 (35) offset in Titanium silver, in person they're darker then pics they're quite nice really. I only received two on step today but decided to C5 treatment as well. This stuff is excellent btw I highly recommend it on any wheel if you care about them. Hopefully other two show tomorrow and tires will show next week. For these wheels I'm mounting Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/40/17 on them. These wheels will be light track / spare set overall since I never had the stockers to begin with.


I have my "street" set of wheels 18x9.5 (40) offset coming to but those will be Aril-May before they arrive.

Thanks to @Gruppe-s for the good deal and service on the Weds

Here are a few pictures.





The lugs I'll be using for these and my other wheels.

Kics 40 black chromium composites

Glad I could pursued you to come to the "dark side"….literally! lol! You have my dream wheels!!!!! Please post pics ASAP of the whole car! Your car will literally look EXACTLY like I want mine to end up! Just waiting on funds at the moment!

Your car is SICK!

@suaveflooder

I should have tires next week, I ordered em from PMC tire so a week to 10 days should have em mounted up. Will not be able to test drive due to massive snow and crap roads but hey we'll be able to at least have em mounted and some snow contrast pics lol.

The next steps in my build are as follows:

1.) Forced Induction: Supercharger top choices at moment are Jackson Racing & Kraftwerks
Turbo charger top choices are Full Blown Motorsports or Ptunings kit, considering Avo to be honest as well given their proven reliability.

2.) Oil cooler "unknown at moment"

3.) Catch can system "unknown at moment"

4.) Clutch either Excedy organic or wait for OS Gikens street clutch

5.) BBK long down road likely but want Project MU BBK kit

Took one of these Weds 17x9 (35) offset wheels to post office today. Just to check and get an accurate calibrated weight, result is 16.5lbs per wheel. Not bad at all really but heavier then some folks have said in past for sure. Tires should be here tomorrow so I'll have some pics and net final auw by weekend.

@suaveflooder

Ok well got tires on steps yesterday so today had em mounted up. Took entire wheel with tire mounted and tpms, balance weights etc all on and the ALL UP WEIGHT was 39.84 LBS per corner. Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/40/17

Anyhow it is -30 today and cars in storage but out around the block a few times to settle in suspension as cars been on stands for over a month lol.

Sorry what exactly do you mean by "guards"? Do you mean how much the tires show outside of the fender?

If that's what you mean sure I'll get some better square pictures tomorrow but at -2 all round they're tucked in nicely for sure.

Long ways to go but I appreciate that people would like it.

Time and money and not enough of either heh. I love these cars completely stock and/or fixed up, I'd say one of the coolest things about these cars aside from what anyone has on them is their ability to be individualized to the owner & I love seeing people excited about their rides. The car meets with the other owners of FRS and BRZ are great I really enjoy the comradery overall of the 86 platform owners.

I research here every night, I learn every time I am on. I have a lot to learn and love every minute of it, have a great weekend everyone.
