When we imported this stunning Toyota GT86 from Japan for our E-Commerce Administrator, Rich Awty, it came with a whole host of modifications \u2013 a nearly complete catalogue of TRD<\/a><\/strong> parts. From the bumpers to the exhaust, this car was something special. However, there was one element that wasn’t quite living up to the rest of the build: the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stock wheels, simply weren’t doing justice to the TRD<\/a><\/strong> parts that were installed on the car. That’s when we reached out to our friends at Weds Wheels<\/a><\/strong>, and they delivered exactly what we needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Perfect Upgrade: Weds Maverick 905S<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The solution came in the form of a set of Weds Maverick 905S wheels<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 a stunning 2-piece split rim design that perfectly balances form and function. The wheels feature a gunmetal grey face paired with polished lips, creating a finish that complements the GT86’s pearl white paintwork beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fitment, we opted for 18×8.5 ET42 all round, a specification that fills the arches perfectly while maintaining the car’s balanced stance. The result is a wheel setup that looks like it rolled straight out of a Japanese tuning magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Rubber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, new wheels need new tyres, and we weren’t about to compromise on this crucial component. We called in a favour from our friends at Yokohama<\/a><\/strong>, who helped us out with a set of Advan Sport V107’s<\/a><\/strong> in 235\/40\/18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tyres offer excellent grip and handling characteristics for spirited road driving while providing the durability and performance needed for those upcoming track days. As a true all-rounder, they deliver the versatility that makes them ideal for a car that will see both daily driving duties and weekend track action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
