Weds TC105N 17x9 incoming

Bowen · 03-01-2017, 10:40 AM

It's only been a week and I already miss my Gramlights.

But excited for my Weds to come in.

Buddy of mine has a nice Series.Blue, makes me want to finish the STi lip kit.

Picked up a set of used Wedsports TC105N 17x9 et 35 in TS Titan from FRSPORT.com. Came with a set of half used 255x40x17 Potenza RE-71R.

They listed them on the facebook brz/frs/86 enthusiasts sell page for a reasonable price, and they were kind enough to ship them all the way from California.

Wheels came in great packaging, and I was happy to see that UPS kept the boxes in decent condition.

However they weren't cleaned before shipping.

Decided to put them on anyway.

And here's the final results. Just in time for an autocross session next weekend.

You and I have very similar taste in mods. Keep it up

Installed the Gruppe-S Custom center caps for my TC105Ns.

Even though they don't match the factory color, I really like them. Great build quality and look way way better than the ugly center caps Weds offers. They're also cheaper!

And gave her a bath, Chemical Guy's stuff is alright. Probably gonna get rid of most of it though.

Bowen · 11-10-2017, 01:48 PM

Been a while since I updated the thread, not much has changed. Recently bought an FZ 09, so my priorities changed for a bit

I sold my Gramlights, was having some issues with the guy who repaired them for me, unfortunately I'm out a couple hundred and had to sell the wheels for a major loss.

Never got around to posting it, but here are few of my autocross runs. My lines aren't very good, and I spun out so hard that I hit fuel lock. Pretty nerve racking spinning out in front of 90+ people and not being able to start your car.

Fastest Run -

C.Quartzed the wheels tonight. Procedure was straight forward, and pretty easy since the wheels are 5 spoke. I still have about 75% of the bottle left, so I'll probably do my TC105N's before the summer.

Bowen · 11-26-2017, 10:07 PM

Just picked up some OEM 2017 tail lights, replica arm rest, and 86Speed's hood shocks.

One of the LED's burned out in my Toms, so I'm pulling them off.

Wheels go on Wednesday!

Bowen · 12-02-2017, 09:36 PM

Got the 57CR's installed a few days ago, unfortunately don't have any shots expect for the ones on lift.

Today I installed the OEM 2017 Tails Lights. I was happy with my TOMs, until one of the LED's burned out in the strip.

New Tails -

Also installed my hood struts and arm rest. Pics to come...

Bowen · 12-03-2017, 10:43 PM

Got some more pics of the car w/ the new wheels.

Featuring Husky Doggo!
