Help me choose between RPF1 Silver and Black for my Firestorm/Fuji Red 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tossing up between these two colours all week.

Elegance of the silver and red Ferrariesque combo, or the aggressive black and red look.

Such a hard decision. Let me know what you think.

The car will have the slightly darker Euro/JDM/Aus GTS headlights. Which I think could compliment the black.

here is a pic that should help:

Just make sure the RPF1 comes with straight spokes.

You are a legend! I've been searching ages for a pic of a red 86 with RPF1's.

Is there any more pics of this car floating around?

Damn the silver do look nice on red.

Silver!

Same offset on this car.

I'm going to call Enkei and see if they will make a more aggressive fitment for 5x100.
17x9, 17x9.5, 18x9, 18x9.5 between +35 +38.

The flat spokes and concave spokes start at 9 inch wide.
The red car looks to have swapped to a 5x114 pcd.

Please do! The spoke design on the 17/18x8's is just gross looking

Definitely silver.

I believe that there is no concavity on the RPF1s above 9" wide; they get flat.
I would be really interested in a set of 17x10 +18 in SBC or Silver.

Silver or SBC

I usually like the black/red combo, but the rims kind of blend into the shadows in this case. Maybe it'd look better in person, but I'd go with the silver.
