That is awesome & I agree, 18x8.5 +30 would be one perfect fitment (for most people) =P

If that's the case, I would buy BRZ and replace the front bumper.

I sure hope they come out with 18" wheels. Those 19s are just too big :p I was gonna ask about info regarding the S7 wheels but I see someone posted just in time

But I guess if they don't I will get the 19's anyway. Wont 19's negatively affect performance on this car? Guess I will have to save the 17's.
Before I get to ask, if I wanted the S7 wheels at purchase, would the dealer wait to install the entire kit once the wheels come in? I dont want to roll in with a five axis kit and stockers... |

My thoughts exactly! Better yet... 17's.
These are gorgeous wheels, the most direct connection to the Concept we all fell in love with. I want to run them everywhere, day and night, road and circuit, and 19's are just too big.

17's for track, 18/19 for street. I personally think 19's make it look too much like a Hot Wheels car. Not to mention the unsprung weight of those (cast?) wheels would kill performance in this already underpowered car. If you had 19" forged monoblock wheels that would be a different story.

For rolling around town why not go 18 or 19? but for the track, am I the only one that thinks 16s might be a better idea? less rotational mass, and if you put smaller tires on (205/55r16 stock to 215/40r16?) that would drop the car a little bit for a lower center of gravity!
Just thowing new fresh ideas out there! |

so i went to my parts dept today and he dident have the price for the 5 piece but said it might be 2.6k painted, i dont see how this is true since a painted 4 piece is 1.8k.
*edit* the lowering springs are also included in the price?
