Yes. I found the Sparco sticker of the center caps a little too shiny to my taste and wanted something more discrete.
Searched for black ones on the internet and found out that the Lotus dealer of my town sells exactly the right size (49 mm).
Drove 5 minutes, paid 15 euros for all 4 and was happy with the end results.

After all, Lotus uses Toyota engines, so why not put a Lotus logo on the wheels of my Toy

See this thread: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109786

I will check that out - Just need to wait for a better weather and a day off work. I will post it here and keep you updated. The spacers - I have put them on the car when I bought these wheels, before I swapped the brakes.



Thank you for that link. I should have looked prior to asking.

Some other pics of my Sparcos Assetto Gara 17x7.5 ET35.

Fit the car quite good. I am really happy with the design.

Here's my experience with Brembo clearance to the OZ Ultraleggera 17x8 +48.

Yes it was from him.

Hey Timurrrr, just wanted to give you a massive thanks for this thread.

I have another set of wheels to add to the list:

Enkei TFR 17x8 +45 (White BRZ - stock suspension) - will clear Brembos
Enkei TFR 17x9 +45(Series Gray? - stock suspension) - will clear Brembos but I believe tires will will rub at full lock on a grade. (5mm spacer recommended.)

I am sure it was assumed, but 17x8 ET35 OZ Ultraleggera fit as well - tons of clearance.

Thanks for helping find more info!

Yeah, 17x9 +45 is known to be too close for factory suspension. I personally wouldn't run any 17x9 wheel with offset higher than +40. See also this post.

@pslater, Looking good! What tire type/size did you go with? Lowered or Camber adjusted?

No worries!

The tires are 225/45/17 hankook evo2’s... they came with the wheels, and are almost dead. I likely will be replacing them with some RE71R’s, same size.

The suspension is RCE Tarmac 0 coilovers. About -2* camber in the front via the slotted upper holes in the RCE strut bodies. Rear camber is around -2* as well. I just installed the coilovers and am waiting for some adjustable rear LCAs to arrive.

The car is lowered about 25mm from stock. I did have to replace the front sway bar endlinks with adjustable ones as they were contacting the front LCA.

Was trying to find info on WRX STI rims on PP BRZs because I saw this one for sale on cars.com. Don’t have any info, so can’t say if they just fit or need anything.
