How would these wheels look on a White BRZ?

These O.Z. Racing wheels are 17" and currently on my 2003 B4 Blitzen… This is my DD while in Okinawa, Japan… I am coming home early next year…

In your opinion(s) should I keep these wheels for the BRZ? My plan is to buy a Limited Trim 2014 BRZ in White, it will be used to take on the DD duties and keep miles off of my 2013 GT-R…

Thanks in advance for your responses… :happy0180:

I think those would look really good. And they have the benefit of already being yours and, presumably, are in decent shape.

Thank you for the response! These are mine and would therefore be a cheap upgrade…

I just need to find some cheap B4 wheels to place on the B4 and then pack these wheels up…

I am going to really miss this B4… It is much nicer than the ones that you can get in the States and drives like a dream with the Twin Turbo engine.

I will need to do some research for this…

2013 GTR and a new 2014 BRZ = baller status

But to answer the question, depends on the color of the BRZ. I think those OZ wheels would look best on a WRB.

I am still not totally sold on any one color… At this moment White has the lead. Thus far the only color that is an absolute no would be red… I agree that these wheels would look nice on a WRB BRZ… Thank you for the response…

I may add these lug nuts and then Subaru center cap to add to add a little wheel "bling" …

I don't know though… I am just thinking out loud…

They would look fine... the beauty of white is that there are no colors that don't go with it

I have heard good things about Sonax Full Effect for cleaning brake dust off of wheels - from the videos on youtube it is absolutely astounding.

That said, if you're having clear coat put on you might just let the guy painting it handle that. Unless that's you?
