18's for me. And I would totally buy a set!

Not really interested in this style personally, so I won't vote. I think the rim itself will look 'small' in 18" just based on it's design. Not to say and 18" rim will look small on a FRS/BRZ, more that the rim looks like it was meant to be made large, seeing as the hub area is so big. The spokes will become shorter in 18" and look stubby.

I think the 19s look great and I loved the concept wheels they helped make the car but I agree that the 18" is the direction I am going. As far as weight goes I'll probably use seperate wheels and tires for racing so that won't effect my decision for daily driving

Neither - wheels like this that aren't circularly symmetrical just end up looking crappy, because it goes in the opposite direction from right side of the car to left side. No matter how cool the wheel looks by itself, it automatically rules it out for me. Just looks tacky IMHO.

I sure hope that's not the wheel in the picture.. so ugly..

Laika · 05-26-2012, 01:46 PM

This is a real bummer. I don't see why 20's aren't an option

R_E_L · 05-26-2012, 02:29 PM

i too would like a chance at 17s if possible, i like a good helping of rubber on my wheels

Dimman · 05-26-2012, 02:59 PM

Let them build their giant wheels. Then they will maybe realize that despite their concept work they are out of touch with the buyers of this car. Because show queens and concepts don't have to move.

She got a donk! GBS owners unite!

I honestly feel like adding my honest opinion to this is pointless since I will almost definitely not buy these wheels but....

Weren't they 20's on the concept? If so, I think they should release them as 19's. 19's really don't look ridiculous on this car. For function I'm sure it will be terrible but for form there's already much better wheel options available anyways.

I'll wait for 18's

Rokko · 05-30-2012, 06:33 PM

I would vote for the 18" and would definitely buy them for my BRZ but if its not available I'll have to buy the 19" S7 although I am kind of worried they might look funny. I think I might wait to see some actual pictures of an actual owner that installed them on an FRS or BRZ before I make that decision. If the 19" S7 rims look ridiculous then I'll just get different rims unfortunately because those rims are the best looking rims I've seen....I hope to see some pics from someone soon...

They should be out in July.

Im personally going to get the S5 wheel in 18" from them and you can see that wheel on the Raven FR-S body kit pictures.

Those are 19's though :p
