Greetings, Oppos. I’m working on future battles and thought I’d solicit the help of the Oppo knowledge base.

Below are my working lists for future editions. My primary concern with any of these is that I’ll go through the effort of pulling images and creating a poll only to discover later on that I missed a vehicle.

I’m asking for your help in reviewing these lists and letting me know what I may be missing.

Thanks!

not sure why you’d put the BRZ on its own, it comes with exactly the same 17" wheels as the GT86

I'm just making the lists at this point. If I find when gathering images that two siblings come with the same wheels, I'll lump them together.

I love these games, I would encourage you to break down the segments further, like sub-compact USDM, sub compact JDM, etc.

Only because you’ll get more posts/longevity out of the series.

You can also consider doing older cars as well. Although that may be harder to track down what wheels are actually OEM base wheels. But it would be pretty interesting to vote on "best base wheels from 1975" or something like that.

Maybe add the Lotus Evora, but idk about pricing and what are the base wheels.

The LR4 to 3 row SUV’s.

Kia Soul, Fiat 500L, VW Golf and Scion iM to compacts.

Maybe you can do a “premium small car” one and add there the VW Beetle, Mini Cooper, Smart Fortwo, Fiat 500, Prius C and Hyundai Veloster or they could be sub compacts/compacts/coupes.

Not sure if you’re already planning that, but I would split the larger categories up into into backets. Or you could set the whole thing up as brackets and eventually get to an all out best base wheel across all categories.

I’ll check on the Lotus and get the Golf and iM added. I think I’ll lump the 500L and Soul in with compact SUVs when/if I get around to them. LR4 will go with luxury SUVs when I get there.

Yeah, for the big groups I’m going to split into manageable groups and then face the winners off. I did that with this week’s edition and it seemed to go well.

Eventually I’m going to do a tournament of champions.
