Draco-REX Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Wheels! The BRZ's getting a quick lipo and a booster shot of torque in the upcoming month. When all's said and done, it should have about the same or more power to the ground as the STI, but through only two wheels instead of four. So I don't think the 235s will be up to the task. Time for some serious (for this car) tires. I'm planning to squeeze a full set of 265s under the fenders. But I'll need something wider than my current 17x8s to hold them. And there are already a few choices: First contender! Enkei RPF1 in matte black 18x9.5+38 http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/Angelo-6.JPG http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/AngOnCar-7.JPG Pros: Inexpensive Lightest weight Clears big brakes Buisness-like appearance due to track popularity Cons: Ugly Looks an inch smaller than it is Not sure I want a black-on-black car again Next up: Enkei NT03+M in White 18x9.5+40 http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/nt03_wht_01_425x283.jpg Pros: Inexpensive Lighter Track-cred :lolguy: Look cool Cons: Will not clear big brakes Tough to keep clean And another: Enkei NT03+M in black 18x9.5+40 http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r237/spunautosports/PART_1326481577706.jpg http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/proricandc5/SagBridge6.png http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/proricandc5/AFbrz1_01.png Pros: Inexpensive Lighter Track-cred :lolguy: Look cool Cons: Will not clear big brakes Not sure I want another black on black car Fourth possibility: Advan RGD 18x9.5+40 in black http://i52.tinypic.com/30j094j.jpg http://brz.ridedomain.com/passenger.jpg http://brz.ridedomain.com/front_driver.jpg Pros: Haz Lip Clears big brakes Cons: Expensive, so less money for coils Haven't decided if black is the choice, but gold certainly isn't And a staggered option for shits and giggles: Work Emotion XD9 18x9+38, 18x10+38 in white http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7263/7845619596_b54bffc008_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8306/7845620264_4714317d60_b.jpg Pros: Dat lip! White on black is shouty Cons: Heavy, will undo the benefits of flywheel and CFDS Will possibly need too much camber to fit, or slightly stretched tires So let the brouhaha begin!

Littleguy Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, I'm RPF1 biased, so I say those, if not I like the ADVAN's, I was thinking about a set for the RX-7 but couldn't justify the cost over the RPF1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Id say either the Enkei RPF1 in Matte Black / Gloss Block, or the Enkei NTO3+M in Matte Black / Gloss Black. I think a poll needs added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 And another: Enkei NT03+M in black 18x9.5+40 http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r237/spunautosports/PART_1326481577706.jpg http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx240/proricandc5/AFbrz1_01.png ^^ My vote. Would look nice on your car. Black on black. Do it with the drop or hide it in a garage until you do. Fuck brakes. They only slow you down.
