I'd do the TSW. Some of the other meshy wheels have a kind of outward dish you'd see on a FWD car.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I would do OZ Superleggeras as they are simple and clean looking (which I think suits the BRZ) and very light weight, though I don't know how they compare to the other wheels listed in that regard.

I def second wanting to stay with the 225, unless you desire to run a turbo or something. What tires are you thinking?

I think Wedsports are way more expensive than any of those wheels that H posted.

If we're going to suggest such baller wheels, might as well go for Volk TE37's.

I'd never run Wedsports or Volks or whatever the fuck on a street-driven car. I'd be forever paranoid about walking back to find the car on blocks.

Either the Raijins or the TSWs.

You should choose the wheel with the greatest dynamic shear modulus and air capacity.

It would be like another $1600 for tires too. More than I'd like to spend :(

At that price, I would get real bbs wheels. I think I'm down to rpf1s, nurburgrings, and one of the oz multispoke. I think I like the look of the nurburgrings the best, but they're the heaviest.

Still need to decide on color. I'll post color options today. Looking at possibly some suspension stuff soon too. Forced induction won't come until it's paid off.

I also think that these on some meaty tires would look cool. 



Anyways out of the ones you've posted, I'd go with the OZs.  Two of my friends have gold OZ rims, and they're both really happy with them.  The styles are similar to the ones you've posted (Allegerita HLT and Prodrives) they are easy to clean, and protect with plastidip or similar because of the trait thin spokes.

I'd skip the TSW if they're way heavier than the others.

And what the fuck kind of tires are you buying that are $400 a piece? :confused:

Let's see: more than decent and consistent salary + actual sporting-oriented car easily being paid down + stock wheels that are pretty lame
vs who knows if there is going to be money or money coming you can be bothered to work for + economy egg you're in constant danger of having repossessed + what is wrong with steelies on an economy car.

The fact that you need this explained to you (repeatedly) is kind of ridiculous.
