HELP- What wheel should I go with? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Oh, if only everyone drove the same car, the same way, for the same purpose.... then stuff like "what aftermarket wheels should I get?" wouldn't even be a question... kind of like when Russia built cars back in the earlier years of their great enlightenment...

Buy what works for your budget, preferences, and taste... and know that nothing is indestructible... "Fatigue happens..."

I'm with you on this! I wish they were 17x7.5 or 17x8.

Try to get a feel for the finish you want in person. Maybe go to some car meets. I dove on flat black wheels after months of research and I wish I wouldve gone a bit more glossy

You could save some money and just dip your stockers black.

On a firestorm, I'd suggest going silver. I've drooled over this look for years:

Don't cofuse TSW with TWS.

Not available 5X100. My GF wanted a set for her 95 Celica.

I would probably go with the Enkei design, but that is because I prefer the look of fewer spokes on the car. It's just simpler, and it goes better with the 86. That is entirely my own personal opinion though.

Kojins for sure, but I am biased because I have them in 17x9 and love them.
