Would you like to see Rotas on my car?

I'll rock rotas forever. I track on rotas, autocross on rotas and daily drive on rotas (unless I need new tires then I use OEM, buddy clubs or 5zigen depending on which has the best tires on it at the time).

Beh. :L

Some car meets are cool. Most of the time I don't like going to them.. even though I sometimes like too.
I just don't like the type of cars in that show. Not my scene.

Oh and I couldn't care less who looks, asks or touches (assuming no damage) my car.

Also. Since it's a wheels thread.. I'll merge my tire thread here too..

IF. The FRS/BRZ gets 17'' wheels is it possible to downsize to 16''? I remember hearing you can't but I can't say for sure until it's been... confirmed. Lol
Depends on brake/caliper clearance. The bad thing is that tire selection in the right sizes in 16" are going to be hard to find (there's a thread somewhere that I posted good tire options for all the logical sizes based on Subaru's 215/45/17 statement).

If 15s fit I'll likely rock 15s for autocross and track use and the stock 17s on the street.

I have some forged 5zigens in black that are 4x100 that would fit the fit, they aren't as cheap as new cast wheels though

no, i would not like the see the rotas on your car. to each is their own, but if you must know why i dont like rotas, its because they make profit off of other company's designs. now lets never mention it ever again.

back on topic:

im not sure if they make it in a size 15.. but i've always had a crush on the enkei NTO3+M's

So does Spoon and Mugen (you'll know the names if you come from the Honda world) Usually by rebranding instead of "copying" though. I have no issues with copies as long as you understand they may not function like the original (although that's less true of some parts compared to others) and you pick a brand that has good QC.

The girls at import car shows have always tripped me out and will do anything for a picture; absolutely no shame.

Dave, I can see how these car shows don't appeal to you since majority of them are for show. I've been to some car shows that had very clean and simple cars, some cool and some over the top and shows were off the cars were all ugly. Personally, I like the muscle cars shows more than the import car shows.

I asked the same thing but it looks like you can at the cost of a much reduce tire selection

NT03s are my favorite style...I have them on my tC, but are not available in 4X100 or <17"

Check out Kosei K1TS. I chose them over RPF1, when I was looking for 17x7 they were essentially the same price. Drive them on NYC streets for 3 years with 215/50 tire no problem.

K1TS


RPF1

I ran DRW 13x9s on the Miata for autocross for a couple of years...not really practical for street use, unless you run flares or like the pokey look.
