I don't like rota wheels either and has 0 to do w/ a lap time around a track that I am sure you wouldn't ever be on in your car. There are a lot of factors for the handling/stopping aspect that comes in w/ more un-needed weight on the car

I am hoping Rays Japan will release the new 17" TE37V in various sizes for GT86/FR-S/BRZ, especially in wide and low offset configurations.

I like those TE37Vs too... On the other hand I think almost any step-lip wheel looks amazing... especially with a huge dish :happy0180:
