Deciding between... (help appreciated) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

rainmonkey · 08-23-2013, 03:30 PM

Hi,

So I want to get new wheels and am picking amongst:

Rays 57dr 17x9 Gunmetal I think this looks the nicest (most expensive)

Enkei rpf1 17x9 Gunmetal or Black I think these are the lightest and look...aiite. I really didn't like these until I found out I could just get the gunmetal, either painted or ordered... (1.2k)

Enkei Raijin 18x8.5/9 Gunmetal Really nice design in my opinion, but I didn't really want 18's - plus they're kinda heavy (1k)

Rota Titan 17x9 Matte Black Cheap!! and relatively light a little less than 18lbs. (700)

Anyone have an opinion/suggestion?

Thanks!!

In the end, you will ultimately have the decision. As far as looks go, I'll choose the 57DR. Looks aside, I'll go with the RPF1.

Pics would definitely help with a decision

I like the RPF1s for their function and for their looks. I think it looks racy.

The Rays and the Raijin both look cool, in the "tuner" kinda way.

I don't know what the Rota Titans look like.

Have fun choosing. It can't be easy.

GO RPF1 in the SBC color.

SurfAndSand · 08-23-2013, 07:01 PM

I actually don't like the raijins now. The Rotas are pretty sweet though

STIITS · 08-23-2013, 07:36 PM

I'd go Rays

PRORICAN · 08-23-2013, 08:27 PM

Can't really go wrong with rpf1's but I'm getting a little tired of that look since I've owed a couple of sets so I say go with the Rays!

Yeah so if I really didn't give a crap about performance, I'd totally go 57dr or raijins...
but there'll always be that damn voice at the back of my mind saying the rpf1s or even titans are lighter.

if memory serves me, 57dr and raijins are roughly 20lbs O_o

g0lden · 08-23-2013, 09:54 PM

if performance is not your concern, just get what makes you happy. I like the titans personally. The RPF1's are really sweet, but I'm not sure how I feel about coughin up that kinda cash when i don't even race my car and a higher lvl than auto-X.

In the end the choice is up to you bro. You got this!
No bear rim then?

ZionsWrath · 08-23-2013, 10:12 PM

IMO just appearance I'd go Rota, then Enkei.

I have stagger raijins and thinking of the titans for a second set.

BlueDubbinTDI · 08-23-2013, 10:33 PM

Ide get the Titans in 18s if they came that way personally.
