Updated 4/1/2016 – James R has been planning his Rocket Bunny conversion for a while, and when it came time to spec the wheels out, he reached out to Forgestar Wheels gurus here at ModAuto to get it done. On any Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ fitted with a Rocket Bunny kit, you’re going to need wheels with unique specialized offsets that are set up to match the fenders – and with lots of experience with these fitments, the Mod Experts are the guys to ask. Since #STAYCRUSHING aka Mod Expert Robert Kochis now works here at ModBargains, there’s nowhere better to go when looking for widebody FR-S fitment – we defy you to find a shop who knows it better.
James R just got his Rocket Bunny fenders installed and fitted up to the car, more is planned to be coming for the car soon, but we kind of like the simple black gold look it has going on now, evoking the classic style of the famous Black-and-Gold John Player Special race cars.
The Mod Experts set James up with an 18in fitment – the Forgestar F14 Super Deep Concave wheels were ordered in 18×9.5 up front and 18×11 in the rear, custom powdercoated Race Gold for an awesome look.
Here’s another angle – even among other Toyobarus, this Rocket-Bunny twin stands apart. There’s #STAYCRUSHING crashing the photo in the background! Can you spot him?
At our fifteen52 x ModBargains meet on March 12th, James came back with the FR-S, and we finally got the chance to snap a few photos of the car in person and update the article.
Thanks for joining us, we hope you enjoyed the photos. Check out our other great upgrades for the FR-S here. Email the Mod Experts like Robert directly at Robert@ModBargains.com or simply call at 714.582.3330 x8004 to change the look of your ride or schedule your install today!
