Diving into the Scion FR-S

Posted on by Konig Wheels

Its always great to be a part of something new and exciting, and KÖNIG Wheels is more than excited to be one of the invited guests amongst a few other aftermarket companies by Scion for the new FR-S. We were able to send some of our team down to a measuring session to ensure that we knew what would fit on the vehicle as well as see the vehicles styling. We take vehicle styling into account anytime we are designing wheels. The Scion FR-S will share a base platform with the new Subaru BR-Z which is also going to be released soon. Both cars will be an exciting addition to the tuning segment.

What we found to be interesting was the fact that the FR-S is said to be designed with aftermarket wheels in mind according to Motor Trend’s review. Smooth front and rear fender lips appear seem to eliminate much of the need for fender rolling and allow for a flush wheel fitment. Motor Trend has also stated in their review of the FR-S that both front and rear brake calipers are nice and compact with the wheel hubs. This really allows for fantastic caliper clearance when making a decision to purchase aftermarket wheels.

Both the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ appear to already have an exciting buzz about them and it looks like they will mesh well with the tuning enthusiast. Thanks to Scion for the invite and Motor Trend for the great review.

After slowly moving passed the cover we came across a cool KIA Forte Coupe project on page 112. The project covers an HSD Coilovers install. The coupe features a fresh set of KÖNIG Backbones and worked very well with the agressive stance provided by the HSD Coilovers.
