It's a cheap, entry level, JAPANESE sports car. Enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really want to but my corolla rims were not big enough to fit the FR-S so I figured I could put the money toward car payments instead of winter rims and tires. Driving the corolla really really really sucks

it is also funny how a corolla feels so high up in comparison

Somebody say snow?

Blizzaks on the stock wheels - will probably buy a second, nicer set of wheels for the summer ties when it warms up.

Love seeing these cars driven through all seasons. They're quite capable. Just gotta be prepared and move with purpose.

So far we have only gotten >1.5" snow this year. I was debating winter tires but, now I think I'll just rock the stockers until upgrading to new enkei rpf1/tires come summer time. BRZ has been fine in the snow. Leave all the computer setting on and it has been amazingly smooth. Take TC/VSC off and instant smiles!

Those wheels fill the arches beautifully. Are you lowered, and what size wheels and tyres are you running?

Lowered 20mm on RCE yellows. Those are plasti-dipped stock wheels with 215/50/R17 Blizzak WS60's.

Slightly taller than the stock tire but they were a good craigslist deal

My 'BlueBalls' taking the fight to the Chicago wintern, and now, the Michigan winter!


This was when the continuous snowing started during the past weekend in Chicago/Michigan area. Had to drive for 9 hours to make this commute and it was snowing like CRAZY!

Oh yeah, running Blizzaks LM-32 on 17 inch steelies.
