I've been looking for new wheels and I've never been a fan of all black wheels. I'm not feeling the 18x9.5 +22 wheels as they have a little poke which I don't like. Plus when the car is lowered it looks like there could be issues. I can always use a spacer to get the offset I want. I'm going to dry a set of 20mm spacers on my OEM wheels as that will be only 1mm less offset than the 18x9.5 +22mm so I can see for sure. What do you all think?
1. Bremmer BR18 Black Machined w/Dark Tint 21.8 lbs 18x8 +35 and 25mm spacer
Wheel Tire Automotive tire Hubcap Alloy wheel


2. Flow One F6 Black Machined w/Dark Tint 20.4 lbs. 18x8,5 +30mm and 10-15mm spacer. It wouldn't let me post the picture.

3. Flow One F6 Gloss Gunmetal Silver Painted 20.4 lbs. 18x8.5 +30mm offset and 10-15mm spacer.

4. Sport Tuning ST10 22.9 lbs. Machined w/ Back Accent and 25mm spacer

Not going to lie, those wheels are not my cup of tea at all. They all look like generic tire shop specials. I definitely wouldn’t go any narrower then the factory 8.5” as well.

Personally I think it’s a bit silly to ditch the factory high quality Enkeis for anything other then a higher performance wheel. If you want to try another color maybe give PlastiDip a shot? I had a Subaru years ago that came with highlighter yellow Gram Lights that I hated so I PD’d them gunmetal gray as a temporary solution. It held up so well and looked so good I ended up keeping them on for 2 years lol.

That said, the OEM brake pads dust like performance aftermarket pads so you honestly better off staying with a darker color.

And that's fine, I posted them because I do like the design and was just curious. I have a black GRC and I've never liked black wheels. I like wheels that have some black in them but either have a machined face or a 2-tone wheel. The wheels you posted didn't do anything for me as wheels are a personal choice and we all have different taste. I'm not planning on going to a wider tire as I'm not going to track my GRC so the 235/40R18 tires will be fine for me. That's why some of them were only 8" wide as they didn't come in an 8.5" size. The Flow One wheels are very nice quality and the same size as the OEM wheels.

I was going to use the OEM wheels for winter tires. I don't think that the quality of these wheels are a lot different from the OEM Enkei wheels. I have Enkei wheels on several on my cars but I was looking for something different for my GRC. I might do the PlastiDip for the OEM wheels when I get winter tires for them.

I do understand the brake dust issue though as even the black wheels show it quickly. A silver wheel might be better and I thought that the 2 wheels that are black machined with dark tint would hide the brake dust and give some style that the oEM wheels lack.

Adding this from the BC coils development thread. BC Racing Coilovers in development!

Great frame of reference for fitment in regards to future lowering -

BC Racing BR Coilovers
OEM Enkeis with OEM 235/40r18 PS4 tires and added 20mm spacers (on top of the 10mm OEM rear spacer) (effectively 18x8.5 +10) the wheel wells appear unrolled to me!

Hello everyone, not a GRC owner (yet) but I work at a dealership here in Canada in the parts department, had the opportunity to put a new set of wheels and tires on our showroom GRC and figured I would share the setup we are using.

I went with the Enkei RS05-RR in a 18x9.5 +22 offset, tires mounted are a 265/35R18 Toyo R888R square.

Rear still has the factory spacer so the rear has a bit more poke than the front but I personally do not mind it, could remove for a more flush look.

Hoping to get my hands on one in the future however I already have a couple ole Nissans so budget is not looking super great haha, if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them.

Thank you!
can you show pics of the clearance in the inner wheel well? how close it to rubbing on any suspension?

Can confirm that 17" wheels will fit! Had a winter setup put on today.

Wheel (Link)
  • Brand: Fast Wheels
  • Model: Switch
  • Size: 17x7.5
  • Offset: +35
  • Bore: 60.1
  • Weight: 21.80 lbs
Tire (Link)
  • Brand: Michelin
  • Model: X-ICE Snow
  • Size: 235/45/17
Notes

Using OEM spacers in the rear and the rest of the car is unmodified. Ride seems to feel a litter softer I assume due to the softer compound and larger sidewall compared to stock. Can take more pics if needed.
How are these working out for you? I'm planning on going the same way, probably with a bit more narrow tire.
Thanks!

18x9.5 +22 fitment so far seems to be a real winner.

not from this angle. and maybe it's a factor of the ride height, but they don't look attached to the car.

that bronze on black, I'm back to wanting some bronze wheels.

In case anyone was wondering about putting Work Emotion ZR10 2P on their GRC, Work has gotten back to me and said they do NOT recommend it for the GRC as it will only have 2.5mm of caliper clearance. Back to the wheel hunt for me...

Someone know the weight of the GRC wheels with tires? Think it was floating around on FB somewhere... Trying to see how much weight I save by switching up to Evo X MR BBS wheels at ~42lbs a piece (including tires)
