Anybody got 16 inch wheels on their FR-S /BRZ?

There was a small group of us dedicated to NA Imprezas and a few tuning companies making parts. Borla made headers for the NA cars, COBB made an intake and cams and such, KYB made their AGX struts, and a few other parts here and there.

What it surely is, is the modern day equivalent of the BMW E30 M3, a legend. Just look at the weight and power figures and the general ideas about what it's like to drive this type of car.

I wasn't talking about theoretical comparisons, im talking about a literal actual relationship between the two cars.

The front suspension of a twin actually shares a couple parts like the tophats and the rear suspension is almost completely taken from a current model impreza. The front control arms are similar to Legacy control arms that were first used in 2004 but reversed.

But yes most 90's cars used 15 and 16 inch wheels even the high performance models. The twins share more technology wise with that age of cars than with the modern high-horsepower, high-grip performance cars on the market.

Yeah, me too.
This, in my eyes, is the classic rally style. And I love it.

@Touge Factory SO SICK! I want to go legit Watanabes soon also, but the Enkeis are great for the moment. Old school on this car is the best look IMO... Just need to find a solution for some fender mirrors A LA Speedhunters car.

Wish 16" or 17" 5x100 Rota RKR's were available

Thanks guys Glad you like the setup, The RE002's have a nice profile, I'll work on some more pics.

These probably can't be much worse off than the XXR wheels people like to run. 16X8, 5X100. ET +38, let the 245 wide tires commence....lol

17x7.0" GTS Wheel 9.4
16x6.5" GT Wheel 7.2

215/45R17 GTS Michelin 9.0
205/55R16 GT Yokohama 9.0
205/55R16 RE002 9.8
225/50R16 RE002 10.6

I have a set of the yokohamas to put back on after the RE002's are done. My wheel and tyre will be 14.0 kg then!

Love the look

But at 25 lbs a wheel they are HEAVY

If you want to go from the stock 17s on the BRZ here in the U.S. to 16s, what size would not throw off the speedometer?

205/55r16

225/50/16 is also almost identical to the stock diameter.

That's a nice weight, careful with the drop in grip. How many km's are getting with RE002's ...they wear fast when pushed.

Anybody else notice, and why are, Panasport/Watanabe style wheels so impossible and hard to find in 5x100?? (16” would be prefect, or even 17”).

Has anybody found any yet in 5x100? (besides the super expensive ones from Watanabe)

Any leads?

What about Panasport, Superlite, Minilite or even XXR 537 or Rota RKR ….do any of them make it in a 5x100??

Here are my leads so far in the never ended quest to find this magical unicorn (ie: 5x100 Panasport/Watanabe style wheels)
