Gotta love it RETRO - Rota RKR 18x9.5 ET44 255/35/18 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yeah - Maybe it's just your camera, but they look ridiculously huge here on the photos you posted to this thread. Maybe the camera/photos is distorting what they look like in reality, because normally 18s don't looks so massive on our cars.

I've seen some of this design on other twins before and they didn't look so out of place:

But hey, to each his own right?

Hmmmm.... Might be the picture/camera indeed... Maybe it's the color? I don't know...
Oh well, they're just regular 18's though lol

I'll have to take some pictures with an actual camera instead of my phone maybe haha

I love RKRs just sad you can't get them in 16s...

as for the guy posting those pictures.. =.= are you sure they are rota? looks like atleast 2 out of 3 shots were taken in japan. Where they can get the real deal (RS Watanabe) that Rota copy from for cheap.

& that would explain why the size is different, cuz watanabes are all custom sizing.

Clipdat · 11-12-2015, 06:02 PM

My bad, those are watanabes I posted. Didn't realize they're custom sized.

Looks good!
More pics from further away please!

16 is a tad bit to small for my likings, 17 i could appreciate too, but for fitment on a gt86/frs/brz i only found these in 18x8,5 or 18x9,5

since it's a daily and i like some grip and the look of 18" on our platform: i got these

Real watanabe's would be interesting for track! Although probably super expensive just getting them here lol!

@JoeHK - Pics are a bit dark/taken in shade otherwise they look great ! Put some matt tyreshine on & shove it in the sunlight & be amazed. Nice.

Thanks for the tips @ZZT86 ! Pics are definitely not optimal, they're literally taken 10 or 20 minutes after the install, i just couldn't wait lol!
But i'll be sure to do that & put the car in the sunlight, once the sun decides to come out of her cave again though ;p

Honestly i'm not so sure, in general any kind of wheel i looked at was more expensive here than in the states... 0.o oh well, if you're looking for those kind of wheels i think budget doesn't really matter lol :p
