What's wrong with the rear? Unless you mean the rear of ALL FR-S/BRZ's. In which case I agree.

It's sitting too low. The top of the tire behind the top of the fender/still wide open spaces front-to-back look looks shitty.

BAM

Of all the options...those are the worst.  Or maybe it's just that the car is far too low and thus looks really dumb.

Eh, the car appears to be level and doesn't have any weird rake going on. I'd raise the height slightly though.

I wasn't being serious. But I do think those look really nice because they're essentially TE37 knockoffs.

My friend with the black BRZ just got goldish/bronze version of those.  Looks pretty good.  I just hate 5 and 6 spoke wheels.  Not my style.

I'd rather see those wheels on a 350Z or something.

Level schmevel, the height looks dumb.

Mike needs to get a Suzuki X90 and put some Ronal Bears on it, that's what this thread comes down to.

If they made 17x8 Ronal Bears that weighed 15 lb I'd get them for sure.

Nope.  I'm a lame ricer and dragging my feet.  Work beat me up pretty good this week, so I've just been relaxing.  I'll post what I've got it narrowed down to tonight.  Pretty much down the TSW Nurburgrings, RPF1s, and OZ multispokes (not the HLTs with the fake center locks though).

You thinking Ultraleggera?



This matte silver is sexy:



They are only about $40-50 more per wheel for 17x8 and are 1.6lb heavier than equivalently sized RPF1's. I'd probably go with those if you didn't want a 9" wheel.

Ok, I'm down to 3 wheels:

TSW Nurburgrings
Enkei RPF1s
OZ Ultraleggeras




















As you can see, still undecided on color.

I'm a sucker for those gold Ultraleggeras.

Those TSWs... is that guy running too tall of a tire or something? It looks awful.

And I guess I actually like RP-F1s in that size.

Just pleeeeaaase do not get gold wheels. The gold/blue Subaru thing is so played to death.

I don't know if it's just those pictures but the TSW's do not look good at all on that car. Maybe it's the higher profile tires but it just look like crap.

The OZ's are nice but I'd go for the RPF1's as they're the lightest and widest, but only if you ware planning on going 235 or wider. If you're sticking to 225's or less then I'd go with the OZ's.
