I don't think a spoke-y BBS wheel would suit this car very well.


Generic as heck, but I think a nice Rota Slipstream or similar would suit it very nicely.

Are those wheels an option?

Nope, stock across the board for both BRZ trim levels, and the one trim level for FR-S's.  BTW, the only reason I mentioned the guy that loved my car was black because I thought it might be you.  I was in NE Ohio, so I figured there was a chance.  You didn't happen to hang out the window of an Oldsmobile hooptie and give some bad ass in a blue BRZ a big thumbs up, did you? :lol:

Not a big 5-spoke anything fan.  I've always been a BBS fanatic.  They make the best looking things out there.  Let me find some pictures real quick.

Not really feeling it but I've never been a fan of those BBS wheels anyways. I think the STI wheels I posted in gold or gunmetal would be cooler.

Those are pretty cool too.  You're right, I think I like those better actually.  I could probably pick up some used ones cheap maybe too?  I think I've got a subaru performance catalog around here too from the dealer.  I'll e-mail and see how much new they charge.  My guy will pass on anything at whatever it costs the dealer to get them :praise:

What about these?

Hideous.


A guy at the Yaris forum has a similar wheel on his sedan. Looks good on anything, IMO.

TE37's would look cool too, but please don't spend $5k on wheels for your car.

Too far east. Between Akron and Youngstown is like a 75 mile distance.....but there's nothing of interest out there anyways.

BBS and BBS type wheels look good on any car. 

Those RPF1s or whatever look like winter wheels.

Maybe winter wheels wasn't the right description, but they look like cheap generic wheels that you get from a Sears tire center.

Depends on the color of the car for me. Dark colors like black or blue look great with them. But I don't think they look good on red cars.

Of all the wheels that've been posted I like the stock ones the best.  :huh:
