Wheel Directory: Neuspeed RS10 18x8.0 +35




Since I sold my R32 to get my BRZ and had an extra set of super light wheels, I kept the wheels and threw them on the BRZ. The steering is quite a bit heavier feeling with these tires, but that's because they have much more grip. Feels great. I'll post some more pics later with the Eibach Pro Kit springs that DarrenDriven just slapped on for me so everyone can see the difference.
