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

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

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

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

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!

^^ 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.

I'm not going that low, but I will end up a bit lower than I am now.

perhaps but look at the upside...

 

  • The C7 isn't as sexy as it could be
  • Your car and mods cost less
  • Your car is / will be even more unique
  • You have a blower

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.

My vote for 1st.

My second choice.

 

You still planning on the Innovate twin screw?
