Recommendations for first set of wheels?

I'm still rockin the stock FR-S wheels and since I'm replacing the tires, I wanna replace the rims/wheels?

So what are some good wheels under $2k CDN that you would recommend?

If it helps I plan on getting 225/40/R18 PS-4 AS and silver wheels look nice so lmk!

Hi swayyy-frs welcome to the forum.

You do realise your not the first one to inquire about wheels & tires here are you not?

This section has some potential to inform with quite a broad opinion on Wheels & tires.
And some pictures as well

What are you doing with this car?

If you are driving around, doing life, looking cool, and want the 18 inch look, there are many alternatives that will do the job at a decent price, and can handle a pretty good pothole. You don't want light weight track rims.

If racecar is your thing, sky is the limit on price.

Does Canada have Craigslist? That's where I'd start. It's where I got both my sets of wheels (with good tires) all for well under $1k.



The silver 18's are for daily and the copper 17's are for track.

My favorite wheels for this chassis are Forged TRDs, RPF1s, and TC105N/Xs. All under $2K USD.
