I'm about to pull the trigger on some TS12R wheels from CCW, and I need some opinions on color choice for NFR. These wheels are relatively new, so I couldn't find anyone else with these wheels in these colors. I wanted to know whether someone could photoshop them on an NFR car.

Here's a quickie photochop.

I just grabbed a side view nfr. Quality isnt great.

You're awesome! Thanks so much for that!

I like the more burnt bronze look personally.

You got all your dimensions picked out? Would you weigh one? Always been curious on s2000 spec CCW weights.

I went with gold but I think bronze would look better on that style wheel.

I'm going with whatever offsets Urge recommends, I don't have the exact specs, but they will not require any fender modification with less than an inch drop.

They're just under 20lbs each for 18x9.5F and 18x10.5R, 245/35 F and 285/30 R for tire specs.

I'm trying to settle on a wheel style, I was informed that matte black and gloss black were also available for 600 cheaper. Gloss black with NFR would look great on the TS12's but I have a gold/red theme in mind that I would like to try and follow.

The bronze is only available in Matte finish for that wheel, which I'm not too much of a fan of.

Here's matte bronze IRL:



Here's brushed gold IRL:

What tires? Tirerack only shows Bridgestone S04 and Conti DW available in those sizes. It is the same size I run, kind of wish I had stuck with 17's. All that extra width doesn't really do any good when the best street tires aren't available. Also, a 18" wheel with the spokes that go all the way to the outer edge is going to look really big. If that is what you want then that's cool, just trying to make sure you get what you want.

I'm not a fan of that bronze either, not sure if it just the lighting. Volk bronze would be awesome though.

I've heard good things about both of those tires. I had the Conti DWs on a Mini Cooper S and they were fantastic in the summer. My plan was to go with the S04s as they were rated highly. These will be street tires only. I would have preferred Pilot Super Sports, but they're not available in the size I want.

You make a good point about the wheel design, which is why I've asked Urge to provide me with different design choices for wheels. If I go gloss black I'll use the TS12's, if I go gold, I'll probably use something else.

Sounds good, I would go with the S04 also. Looking forward to the end results, should be good.

Thanks! I'll definitely post pics. Coming soon (Ap1 Front Lip, Coilovers, wheels), when everything is all set.
