    225 on an 8.5, to me, is perfect. Enough stretch to look good and stiffen up the sidewalk, but not too much that you lose the rim protection.

    You have to remembe that rim protection differs per tyre. Find a tyre with a good rim protector, and you'll still get the benefits with a 225 on an 8.5. I have Vredestein tyres which are very highly rated summer tyres, and they have great rim protection.

    Do you have a picture of what it looks like?

    Starting to think more about what tyre size is ideal. Was hoping for 225-40 18 which fits fine on a 18x8 but stretches a little on 18x8.5 which means less rim protection but I like the 18x8.5 wheel I've seen (link a few posts up)
     
    Would I just go to 235-40-18 or is that too much tyre? By that I mean too much grip for the car and hurts feel a bit? On stock primacys atm which are fine dry but awful in wet so do want to change soon. I don't know that much about wheels so bear with me. 18x8 ET 45 and 18x8.5 ET 40, how would they differ? It it just losing offset here and gaining wheel width there?

    Tyres I'd be going for Michelin PS4's. Buying a full set for my vRS soon so if I buy wheels I should get a discount from buying 8 at once

    Want the best quality I can get day and night and that's capable of supporting at least a 64gb card

    I have an older blackvue which is OK but is showing it's age but looking at the newer ones they aren't as good for the money.

    Where did you get them from? What I've always liked with anything Bilstein is that they just work well and get better the faster you go. Brother drove my vRS a few days ago and said it wasn't great. So I showed him the difference at speed and it's almost as if the car wakes up. Noticed the 86 is a but jiggly at lower speeds but suspect sometimes it's traction control intervening slightly.

    Legend 3 is available on the web but there are no english subtitles available yet from last time i have checked,oh i am excited for this 3rd movie and the last episode of 5th stage was very interesting when they showed the GT86.

    It was on YouTube briefly subbed then got taken down. Subs were basic but good enough. Google the forum for Initial D and it's there

    Initial D: Legend 3 is out in Japan now. The last scene is Takumi in his AE86 chasing an orange GT86 that's being driven by the same voice actor who played him originally. It's almost as if old Takumi is reminiscing and going back to old scenes but now owns a GT86, Perhaps there will be more. The very end hints at more movies. At the end of 5th stage Takumi now using the Impreza for deliveries passes the same GT86

    Only just read that some years have TPMS sensors in the wheels? So if I change wheels the light will be on. I don't know how this system works but is it easy to put sensors on non OEM wheels? It's a 13 plate

    Toyota should really offer stuff like this as options. OK the market would be small but the idea of the 86 was to make it how you wanted it. Other manufacturers offer more wheel and decal options than Toyota currently do. If you had the CAD file for those decals there's plenty of places that could do it for you.
