About This Scion FR-S Base 2014 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Scion FR-S Base 2014 sits on a set of 18×9.5 / 18×9.5-inch Konig Dekagram wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Konig for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Scion FR-S Base builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Konig Dekagram creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Konig Dekagram on the Scion FR-S Base 2014
I walked around this FR-S for twenty minutes at the meet because the fitment is spot on. We are looking at a square setup with 18x9.5 Konig Dekagrams wrapped in all four corners. That +35 offset pushes the face right out to the edge of the fenders.
The 18x9.5 width fills those wheel arches better than any stock setup. You get that aggressive, flush look without needing to hack up your bodywork. It makes the car look wider and lower instantly.
Clearing the front calipers on a base FR-S is never an issue with these Dekagrams. The spoke design gives you plenty of room for stock brakes or even a big brake kit later on. You won't need spacers to clear the hub face.
Since we are running lowering springs, the fender gap looks tight and clean. You have to be careful on big dips or steep driveways, though. The front liners might kiss the tire if you hit a massive bump at speed.
That 73.1mm hub bore means you definitely need hub-centric rings to stop any vibrations at highway speeds. Don't skip those or your steering wheel will shake like a paint mixer. It’s an easy fix that keeps your ride smooth.
The barrel design offers a decent lip depth for a flow-formed wheel. I like how the spokes curve slightly to meet the edge of the barrel. It gives the wheel a sense of depth that flat-faced designs just don't have.
Running a square 9.5-inch setup means you can rotate your tires properly. That saves you cash in the long run. Just keep an eye on your inner fender tabs in the back if you plan on going lower.
What We Recommend for Scion FR-S Base 2014 Owners
If you want to replicate this look, stick to the 18x9.5 square setup. It is the gold standard for the FR-S platform. It provides the best balance of grip and aggressive street stance.
Don't mess around with weird offsets. That +35 mark is the sweet spot for the FR-S. Anything higher will look tucked and weak, while anything lower will poke too much and ruin your paint.
I always tell guys to avoid massive tire stretch. Running a 245/35 or 255/35 tire on this width is perfect. You get enough sidewall protection without looking like a drift missile that just crashed.
If you go with lowering springs, check your alignment specs immediately. You need a little bit of negative camber to tuck the top of the tire under the fender. Without it, you will rub on every single corner.
Stop buying cheap knock-off wheels that bend at the first pothole. These Dekagrams use flow-forming tech to stay light and strong. Your suspension will thank you for the reduced unsprung weight.
Style and Build Analysis
The black finish on these wheels creates a mean, murdered-out vibe. It looks especially sharp against the factory paint on this FR-S. It turns a friendly-looking coupe into a serious street machine.
I love the multi-spoke design of the Dekagram. It is simple but purposeful. It doesn't scream for attention like some wild, busy wheel design. It just looks fast sitting still.
The proportions are exactly what this car needs to look complete. Stock FR-S wheels sit way too far inside the wheel wells. Pushing them out to the fender edge changes the entire character of the silhouette.
Compared to other builds I’ve seen, this one feels more refined. Many owners go too crazy with aggressive aero or massive wings. This build proves that a clean wheel choice and a mild drop is all you need.
The dark finish also hides brake dust better than silver or bronze. That is a huge plus if you drive your car hard on the weekends. You spend more time driving and less time scrubbing your rims.
Why We Love This Build
I love this FR-S because it captures the essence of a perfect street car. The black Dekagrams fill the arches with a dark, brooding presence that demands a second look. When the sunlight hits the concave spokes, the car looks like it’s ready to tear up a canyon road.
It isn’t over-engineered or impractical, just clean, sharp, and purposeful. Seeing it parked in the light makes me want to grab my keys and hit the twisties immediately. It’s a masterclass in how simple mods elevate a platform.
This is exactly how an FR-S should look from the factory. Go get yourself a set.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Scion FR-S Base owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 18×9.5 / 18×9.5-inch wheels fit my Scion FR-S Base? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Scion FR-S Base owners run 18×9.5 / 18×9.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
