OEM Stockers vs my new Hankook RS3's both 215/45/17 WoW! Blk RPF1 wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MarkRacerX · 06-10-2012, 03:12 AM

Tread blocks are soo much wider!!

Immediate Way More Crisp Steering wheel feel/car response!!

I am doing an Autocross Sunday, Can't Wait as I race in May on total Stock setup!

Amazes Everyone all 4 new wheels/tires fit UNMOUNTED in the car!!

I am now on 15lb RPF1's, it's cool they include valve stems w/ wheels!! Can't wait to test setup out for this event

I will have more pics, was gloomy and pouring rain so the dark wheel would just be solid black in many pics.

Just wanted to share a few pics..
Further review of setup to come after Autocross day!

Fantastic choice on both wheels and tires.

Congrats!

MTeator · 06-10-2012, 08:38 AM

How did you find stock size rpf1's? I thought they weren't coming till October.

chulooz · 06-10-2012, 09:33 AM

Looks awesome, I want more pics. Let us know how it all performs. NEEDS center caps!

FakeWhiteMan · 06-10-2012, 09:55 AM

That's the exact wheel/tire combo Im going with.

NESW20 · 06-10-2012, 02:02 PM

bakerr6 · 06-10-2012, 02:47 PM

Where did he say they were the stock size? I assumed they were the 17x7.5 RPF1's which are currently available.

He said he was racing in stock class. If he got the 7.5's that would take him to SP or ST*.

illmatic · 06-10-2012, 03:31 PM

Looks great.

Razz · 06-10-2012, 03:34 PM

I wouldn't have chosen black, but you picked one of the best wheels.

I guess I missed that. All I saw was that he said "I am doing an Autocross Sunday, Can't Wait as I race in May on total Stock setup!" which I took to mean that he raced in May when the car was completely stock. I guess we'll just have to wait until he reports back after the autocross today to see what he thought of the new setup.

My impression from previous posts was he wanted to stay in stock, but I could have misread. I know if I wasn't staying in stock, I woulda gone much wider than the 7.5 & 215's

Miniata · 06-10-2012, 04:03 PM

That would be great if the 17x7 RPF1's are available sooner than the 3rd or 4th quarter I've been hearing. I'll probably just stick with the 17x7 Kosei K1-TS for now though, since I already own them (they're currently on our Forester). I'll be staying in stock (RTR) class for awhile too.
