first and most important mod:

light weight wheels: 14lbs!

Kosei 17x7 +50

What a difference it makes!




Stock setup:

Kosei + Michelin PSS (225/45/17):


5 pound difference per corner!
20 pounds shed total which equates to roughly 400lbs shed of the car!

Yup, it's monogram. The dealership messed up and priced it as stock FR-S

I'm new to swapping out wheels and may be confusing myself with wheel offset. Stock wheel offset is 48 (I think). These Kosei's are +50. Am I correct in thinking that the additional Offset doesn't move the wheel outward because you're keeping the stock wheel width (7")?

Reading more info, I'm incorrect, aren't I?
