MrH's BRZ Thread

[hotrodalex]

After seeing that, I'm not as fond of black wheels on the car. They blend in too much, whereas the silver and gold have more contrast and thus look better.

[Secret Chimp]

I think BBS-type wheels would look good, but the last two are too cheapie-knockoffy looking.

[68_427]

Just splurge on CCW rims.

[Secret Chimp]

Problem with CCWs is a lot of their designs are only available in 18s and up or otherwise xboxheug

Real BBSs are so nutty expensive.

I think there's some serious potential in this wrapping of parts.  I might branch out and try some STI parts.  If I end up making solid money doing this, maybe I can afford the real deal.

Can get 16"x16" if you so desired.  Any f the Cassic or Lip Master series are available in 17"

[hotrodalex]

16x16"? What do you think he drives, a top fuel car?

[r0tor]

Bleh... I'd still go matte bronze work emotion car kai

What's the widest width you can put on the brz?

[MrH]

Widest I can fit, or want to?

[sportyaccordy]

Widest I can fit, or want to?

What you want is of no consequence, what will physically fit??? The internet council will render judgment.

No but seriously, less offset or more meat, stock size is no go.

[MrH]

Probably going 225s.

I still don't understand putting wider Z rated tires on this car when it's the lower limits that make this car so much fun.  When you start improving the traction and handling, you start raising the limits, and when you start raising the limits, you raise the "fun" threshold.

[hotrodalex]

Here we go again with the "only crappy cars are fun" argument...

Yes.  The ultimate automotive indulgence is a Yaris on wheel barrow wheels.  Extra long shifter so I can maximize the time I'm moving the lever, increasing my oneness with the vehicle.  I will strip it of all creature comforts to make my dedication to the enthusiast spirit known to all.  There will be a bonfire with the sound deadening material, everyone's invited.

Nah dude.  If you know me at all by now, you know I like cars that achieve supersonic speeds and have big V8s with more than 400 hp.  It's just that this car subscribes to a whole different set of rules than the cars I like, so why would someone try to change what it is that made them like the car to begin with?

After all these years, you still don't know me, do you?

How many times are you going to come in this thread and try arguing about this?

You're going to try and tell me what makes my car more fun (which is about as subjective of a topic as you can get) to me, when you've never driven it.

Just stop.

Hmmm, if I get an FR-S/BRZ the first thing I'm going to do is slap some Pilot Super Sports on it.

After reading that, it seems like better tires are an obvious upgrade.

You don't know what fun is.

[MrH]

You don't know what fun is.

Yes, I don't know what fun is.  Despite daily driving a Miata and now BRZ.  I couldn't handle the excitement of most cars out there, so I tried to pick the most boring vehicles I could find.

[SVT666]

Cougs is right, trolling is fun around here.  It's so easy.

[MrH]

Going into threads and repeating the same shit over and over isn't trolling.  Your internetery is weak sauce.

[sportyaccordy]

That was bad trolling

And 225 Z rated tires are hardly mind blowing. The stock tires are useless

[SVT666]

Bad?  It worked.  Can't be that bad.

So that blue FR-S With black rims I posted... It makes 324whp.

That must be a snooze fest to drive.

Many times the look of the rim is drastically effected by the width and offset... so what are we talking here width wise?

Usually for the better...

I have some serious considerations for 18x10s for the 8... lol
