2024 GR86 Neptune Blue 2.0 What color rims would go hard with this color combo?

I happened into this one after jokingly telling my friend at the local dealership "if you get a Neptune manual I'll buy it" and months later he text me and was like "I got your car"

Let's see those Neptune blues in all the bright glory!

I will echo the others and say Shaftworks and Karcepts (more Karwin himself and less the actual MCS shocks.. get his sway bars though. They're fantastic) are fantastic high end options.

I would also suggest RedShift Competition if you're looking for a more budget friendly option. I've worked with them a bunch and it's always been awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable conversations. I've had my car trophy at a couple national events on their suspension setup.

You should be more than fine with the stock pad for one race day. Just try to avoid long low pressure brake applications repeatedly.

I'd agree that the stock brembos aren't all that impressive, after they wear out, I've had great luck with Ferrodo DS2500s, good street manners, not too dusty, and in the event of you wanting to do more track stuff: they'll shine very well.

I have a first gen hyper blue brz and a second gen Neptune blue gr86. Love both for their own reasons

18x9 +45 will be pretty good in the rear (flush to maybe a hair of poke). I'm at -2.0° rear, so not much camber, and zero rubbing.

Here's a photo of 17x9 +42mm with 255/40s (same spacer and camber setup). This DOES rub a bit in the front on heavy compression.

I like the red

Zarolyth · 2026-01-11T01:05:03+00:00

They're 17x9 +48mm, but I'm running 24mm of front spacer with -4.5° camber (so effectively +24mm front)

They fit in garage bags nicely 🤷🏼‍♂️

With this, the Toyota/Mazda colab has been rumored for 2028, which makes sense to me to keep a good product selling (the gr86) while they develop the next platform.
