GR86 GR86 - What wheels and tyres are you thinking about?

[beorg]

You’d be surprised. Slightly more than half of that.

Are they definitely 18x9"? Those would normally go with 245/255mm tyres, not 225s.

these wheels are for track and there you want wider rim than tire for best support. See https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...4944&cjevent=ad122c63d25111ed825fd2b60a18b8fa

I think Enkei TS-10s have a similar 10-spoke design if you look closely, so you can compare them on Tire Rack here:

But here's a screenshot for reference:

Thanks Beorg I will take a look not sure if that looks a bi over the top

Lovely. I’ve been looking at these wheels so would love to see a photo when you have had them fitted. Thanks.

How the oem Toyota forged 17” bronze wheels look on a red car.

I've wanted those ever since I saw them. Very pricey to get a set though.

Yeah, by the time they are shipped they will have cost more than some of the lighter aftermarket options unfortunately.

It seems a missed opportunity for Toyota to not offer much in the way of their own aftermarket parts in Europe, the boards prove their is an appetite for modification as much as most other markets.

Protrack wheels 7,5x17 ET35 with 215/45/17 tires.

Fitted my Enkei TS-5 18x8.5 et45 with 225/40/18 Michelin PS5’s today, excuse the tyre soap I was very excited to get a pic of them fitted

Japan Racing SL01s here. Offered in a few finishes, but I went with the matt bronze.

This is an 18x8.5 ET35 with a 225/40 tyre. Stuck with the Conti SC7 I used on my Supra previously with a lot of success.

Lightweight wheels certainly make the driving experience a lot more enjoyable!

Nice, are you lowered?

Heavy and too much chrome. Chrome/diamond cut wheels are a nightmare to keep good.

I believe you, but what is it that makes chrome/diamond cut wheels a nightmare to keep good?

White worm. Moisture gets behind it and it does this. Plus it's more costly to refurb. Chrome is overdone.

Thank you. So chrome is a finish applied to a wheel, and moisture can get behind it. I (probably incorrectly) thought that diamond cut wheels had the metal cut and polished, so there wasn't a finish applied for the moisture to get behind?

Was my understanding that diamond cut are still lacquered. It's the moisture getting under that.

Got it, thank you

Is there a good site (UK) that shows wheels that fit the 86? That should be a simple task, but on Performance Alloys (for example) I select the car, it lists the wheels, I then select a wheel and it says 'this doesn't fit your car'. Brilliant.

I like the Tomason TN25 shown here, and OZ wheels. I'm probably after flow-formed, for the light weight, without spending as much as formed wheels cost (like Bolas). Possibly 17". Not too sure on colour (not black), but it would be good to see the options.

Any ideas?
