Bronze Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45 on CWP BRZ

I haven't seen many pictures of the bronze RPF1's on a BRZ, especially a white one which I think looks really good with bronze. It's a stock suspension BRZ so be prepared for the massive wheel gap. It's on Dunlop Direzza ZII's 235/45R17.

I have SBF wheels at the moment and am thinking of painting them bronze. Thanks for the pics.

I photoshopped a 1 inch drop from stock and wow, it would look so much better. I'm debating whether or not I should go for lowering springs or save up for coil overs later...

Maybe this will help sway your decision of how much of a drop you want!

How much camber are you running in the back after that drop?

-2* all around. Rear was naturally at that, front is camber bolts and slotted struts. I want to get some rear UCA's to dial out some camber in the rear, I'd rather have -1* in the back at most (or leave the rear and go up to -3* up front).
