Really lookin hard at these for my firestorm FR-S. Most likely in 17x8 +35... I just keep thinking though that if I'm going to buy wheels I feel obligated to go up to 18s... in which case the TSW Nurburgring is looking good.

TSW Trackstar 5

They're priced well and really the only ones that stand out to me so far, aside from the Nurburgrings as well, that don't cost $800 per wheel.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Drool. I see they come in 17". What are the full specs? 5x100? I love them.

Crap, I was looking at 17x8 +35. The 18x8 doesn't even come in 5x100 let alone +35.

Hmm... I really need to think about whether I want that inch or not. Because I REALLY think these will look nice on my Firestorm FR-S.

Enkei Klamp

http://www.enkei.com/klamp.shtml#

Anyone have any experience with these? They are surprisingly affordable but >20 lbs per wheel. For 18" they only come in 18x7.5 +45 and 18x8.5 +42. Which would fit best?

Unfortunately, I didn't have them weighed. I meant to ask them to do it when they were being installed but forgot. I do know that the wheel is 22 pounds. I hated that I was adding some weight, but they are a little bigger than the stock wheels (18x8=22lbs instead of 17x7=20lbs). Not sure about the tires. I guess I'll be making up for it when my new exhaust comes in. It's 20.7lbs lighter than stock!!!

Hope they re-release these again. Love these rims to death. Gold spokes on white FRS will look awesome. Friend of mine has 3 sets of these but they are 5x114 Might do conversion to rock these.

Enkei Lusso's look great! If someone could do a quick shop (I could try, it would not be quick) I'd much appreciate it. These will be a gift to myself if I can keep putting money away in the bank

Has anyone put steelies on theirs yet, like for a winter wheel? at $58 per 16" wheel at tire rack it seems like a good idea for a winter setup.

Um, sorry to inform you, but the FR-S/BRZ has a 5x100 Bolt Pattern

I have a feeling (from reading his post) that he was already informed

Still having a hard time deciding my wheels for next summer. Number 1 spot is currently the Kosei K4R's....but every now and then I see something on this forum that changes my mind completely.
