Yup, TPMS moved right over. OEM tires are showing a little stretch on 7.5" rims.

Good to know they were able to move the TPMS over, will save some monies there.

What is the impact of stretching the tire to 7.5 inch rims? Does it compromise it?

Whilst I agree with you on the 17" wheels in theory, in practice I think I'm going to go with 18". Less wheel gap and less drop required. A light enough 18 and you'll only gain weight per corner due to tires. Blue and gold always looks good though

Hub bore is 56.1.

Wheel gap and drop height will be exactly the same assuming you get the right tire size...

The stretch is very small. While I can't say for sure, there should be no impact. With more extreme stretches, you start compromising your grip by deforming the contact patch.

I never liked the looks of the Alleggerita, they look smaller than they really are.
They are very light and strong but there are better looking and still high quality and light wheels.

Sure, rays, advan and ssr make nice wheels but they are so expensive and unavailable. I think if price was no object, I'd have gone with Advan RS's in the same size but man, $650/wheel and 4 months waiting.

My wheels arrived in 3 days from tirerack for half the price! I'll take a slightly smaller looking wheel all day.

NICE!!! Always love gold wheels on white cars!

touge-n00b · 06-09-2012, 12:58 AM

What's the tire size if you don't mind me asking?

Gardus@Supersprint · 06-09-2012, 08:20 PM

I'd prefer the OZ Ultraleggera or the ATS DTC (7 and 7,4 kg, in 17"x7,5")

215/45/17. Kept them stock size for now.

Very nice, massive weight savings there

The image coloration is slightly off, but it's definitely a Satin White Pearl BRZ. Whiteout in FR-S terminology.

bakerr6 · 06-12-2012, 07:29 AM

was thinking about purchasing these, glad I didn't (my car is black). Still, I think with better pictures and a little tire shine, it will really make the gold pop on these wheels. Congrats!

wrxneffect · 06-12-2012, 03:06 PM

Yep it is SWP, not silver. Camera phone not so great. Whether or not it goes with white is a personal opinion, no right or wrong answer. I happen to think they look great on white, others however may not like it and that's ok. Def plan on detailing the car this week, gotta clean up the Michelins

BioRage · 06-12-2012, 05:48 PM

Nice! But needs a 3" drop.

Yeah if you don't scrape your car everywhere you go and ruin the handling dynamics of it, there's no point in putting on wheels really.

Post up some pictures after you clean her up, the wheels look great from what I can tell.

Ride height aside, that looks very nice. I've always liked the Subaru Blue + Gold wheels.

Andrew @ TRS · 06-27-2012, 02:52 PM

^ That looks awesome

dwx · 06-27-2012, 04:24 PM

Love the look on WRB. Loved the old Prodrive P1s on my WRX.
