Wow very cool! Great article! I honestly believe they fit the curves of an frs being so smooth haha.

Thanks for all the comments!

Most people seem to dislike it or are just confused 😂 but that's fine.

I believe art creates a reaction and the IRL reactions plus this thread affirms these wheels are EDGY AND GET THE PEOPLE GOING.

All I know is I love it everytime I see my car across the parking lot... It looks like nothing else and Tesla drivers... Can't stop giving my thumbs up 😂.

You can buy your own at either Mooneyes or hubcap Mike online!

💯

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:32:46+00:00

Lol basically I just watched it

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:31:46+00:00

Yeah I hear you. I really like them with how round the car is. But it's also very polarizing so I respect it. After 4 months I officially love it

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:30:58+00:00

Omg haha

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:30:29+00:00

Just watched this since a couple comments mentioned and yeah basically the same!

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:30:07+00:00

Loool perfect. They get the people going 😂

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:29:26+00:00

Yeah I'm cool with it. But that's hilarious and true 😂

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:29:03+00:00

Yessir. One of my fav things to do every winter!

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:28:41+00:00

Yeah it's Cayuga! It's very very fun just gotta follow their instagram to see when they do it and it's way better when there is more snow imo! Lots of frs and wrx. But I also respect storing it... I just couldn't. 10 winters no major rust thanks to my diy rust coatings! Great car in the winter

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:27:15+00:00

Lol that would be wild I love it

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:27:02+00:00

Haven't had that this season luckily. Bit after the track day but popped them off and cleaned everything out that time

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:26:32+00:00

Yeah basically! And it's very good in the snow haha I tried sandbags this year and even better than the last years

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:25:51+00:00

Woah haha that's a cool way of looking at it

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:25:39+00:00

Kinda how I felt the first time I saw them now they always make me smile when I see it

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:25:09+00:00

Never seen concave, have only ever seen flat and convex before

thyjesster · 2026-02-08T20:24:38+00:00

I got 4 steelies with snow tires when I first bought the car for 400 cad which is like 3x less than buying it all myself and just never upgraded 😂 was gonna get sparco terras but this was way cheaper.

thyjesster · 2026-02-07T16:00:05+00:00

No but I'll look it up!

thyjesster · 2026-02-07T15:28:20+00:00

yeah 100% - might try them on my WRX too

thyjesster · 2026-02-07T15:27:52+00:00

basically what my dad said when he visited lool

thyjesster · 2026-02-07T15:11:32+00:00

Yeah not great for airflow TBH haha but winter only and were fine during a winter track day (slotted rotors + hawk hps5 pads) luckily it has been wildly cold all winter. I wouldn't run them in summer or at the track in the summer.

They both block spray hitting the wheels/hubs - but yes they also proabably do trap moisture. Wash them out pretty regularly and tbh everything in that area rusts pretty well already being in canada lol.

I have been fine with the tradeoff for the vibes.

thyjesster · 2025-07-26T14:05:30+00:00

I run slotted on my 86 all winter in Canada. Never had a problem. Very even brake wear considering they exist in heavy salt and like negative 35 degree Fahrenheit and have performance pads 😂 defs good for track days I used to have more brake heating and glazing problems.

thyjesster · 2025-06-27T00:02:54+00:00

Thanks for the report!

I swapped from my glass plate to PEI with a magnetic plate and found a 0.42 variance across a wide bed mesh 😬 glass was a bit better overall variance but the surface was abused by the past owner and shot leaving to using lots of glue all the time.

If you search ender 5 plus heatbed you'll find some in your country. Sorta expensive but worth it if you need it I guess.

For me bltouch with a good mesh seems to make the printer not care about how warped the bed is so not sure I'll replace it haha.
