What are the lightest wheels for this car?

[RJasonKlein]

My personal favorite for the 86 is the forged TWS T66-F. It's not cheap, but it's extremely strong, very light, and great looking. They're also hub-centric to our cars, so they don't require any centering rings - that's a big bonus. Here are some weights and photos of the 18" model:

- 18x8.5 +42mm 5x100 Front Spec 15.2 lbs per Wheel
- 18x9.5 +45mm 5x100 Rear Spec 15.7 lbs per Wheel

Below list is for our car. 18X8.5J +42 flush the best for stock.
About $2000 for a set in Japan. Wait time 1-2 month after placing order.




計測中 = testing in progress
サイズ = size
ノーマルキャリパー = Normal caliper
ビッグキャリパー対応 = BBK yes

I don't own them, but hope to have them soon. To my knowledge, they don't require spacers either front or rear.

CSG (Counterspace Garage) on here is a US distributor for TWS.

Impressive. 2lbs lighter than RPF1. Very light.

Are these any good, quality-wise? On par with RPF1 quality at least?

Konig is the USA brand that manufacture in Taiwan. The same manufacturer make Sparco, Advanti (F1 sponsor), TSW, and some of Enkei and OZ (35% stock holder). Quality should be fine.

Cool. They don't look too shabby either (unlike the majority of newly released, too futuristic or cheesy looking, wheels). I like the concave and also they kinda look like rally wheels

Are they new? They going to be sold in the US? Never heard of them. Wonder when they are going to be released.

I noticed that too. I saw they have a 17x7 option, but I only found it on foreign websites

Yes. Many say 17x9" with 245 is perfect..but 245 is a bit overkill for low power NA on the track and is also heavier. This setup would be good for autocross though, or aggressive appearance for street use with the thick 245 on 9". But weight is my priority over looks/show.

17x8" with 225 is perfect imo. 225 is all you need for 160-180whp and is very light. And would fit an 8" nicely.

You can run anything from a 225-245 very well which is why I like the 17x8 options. I'm running 245/40's on a 17x9 right now and love the way it stays planted. I'm just above 200 whp btw so I don't mind the extra grip
