Christopher's World Rally Blue BRZ On 18" EC-7R Forged Wheels
World Rally Blue on gold FTW! Chris brought his Subaru BRZ Performance Package to our shop to get a sneak peek at our new fully forged wheels. We mounted a set of our 18” EC-7R wheels in our new satin gold finish. These were developed based on laser scans, and both 17” and 18” diameters will clear the factory Performance Package / TRD Brembo BBK as well as other popular aftermarket kits. Packed with features, the EC-7R has paintless knurled beads to reduce tire slippage during hard braking and spoke scalloping that removes material from the side of each spoke to shed weight and give it “I” beam like strength. Designed for both street and track, our new forged wheels check all the boxes.

As an enthusiast he made the shift from street driving to track driving in order to fully experience his cars at the limit without putting the public at risk. Matt has owned six Hondas (‘94 Integra LS, ‘95 Integra RS, ‘96 Integra GS-R, ‘06 RSX Type-S, ‘95 Civic VX, ‘17 Civic EX-T), two Subarus (‘15 Impreza, ‘22 BRZ), and is likely shopping for the next addition to his stable.

Fun fact: Matt knows every quotable line in The Fast and the Furious by heart.
