Going through the same decision making process at the moment.

Currently split between Inovit ST15s, Lenso Spec E, Compomotive MO6, but Change my mind on virtually a daily basis.

To be honest one of the best wheels for a 6th gen are the RS GTs, a popular choice but pretty cheap. Had them on my old GT4 and they are hard to beat.

The speed lines are nice but only look their best in 18s, smaller versions don't look as good.

I know when it comes to wheel buying time the day after I order some I just know it will be a case of........"hmmmm, think I prefer "XXXXXX" instead............bollocks!!!

If you're like me, just go with what's lightest. tongue.gif SSR makes some really nice rims, but I'm not sure as to the availability of them outside of the U.S.

those 17 x 8 enkei rpf1 with +35 offset and some 215/45R17 tires will be so nice.

why not get Rota G-Force Rims in 17 x 8 with +35 offset like that one member had here on 6gc. but in a gold/bronze or steel gray color.

Preemptively speaking, I like the Compomotive MO6. But I'd have to see them all Photoshopped onto your car.

The compomotive MO6 are expensive, but great wheels and suit the gen 6 very well. They are one of my favourite wheels and I must admit make me go weak at the knees, very stunning, but perhaps a little dated looking now?




However, there is another version pretty similar by Revolution Motorsport, millenniums which are as near as dam it a close to the TTE Rally car wheels as you will get, and they look stunning with the right colour combination.....and are a lot cheaper than the MOs

Go rpf1. Had the set. Loved it and all but hub converted so I sold it. Only thing that sucks is that it's not wide enough to be concaved so it doesn't look as good as the concaved ones. Spokes kind of stick out but that's for performance purpose to make more stronger.

Being in New Zealand there may not be many GT-86's over there getting rid of their wheels. I can't imagine there being more than a few hundred on the island.

So hard to find 5x100 lightweight wheels, wide enough to cover the fender gap

Arospeed RS GT look good, but they're very very flimsy wheels. They'll bend when looked at.

I have had a set for near enough seven or eight years, done track days, a tour of Europe, covered more than 100,000 miles with them without any issues, not a single bend or break so they aren't that flimsy. They weigh too much to be flimsy. Saying that I do have the old versions, I don't know if they changed with the newer versions?
