2017 BRZ delivery in Jan? - Page 29 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My S2000 CR has gunmetal grey wheels and they look awesome on a black car I think. White, I could go either way. It is strange though that they are a different color than advertised. It stay says "BRZ Performance Package black-finish aluminum-alloy wheels." on the subaru website. Though I can see a bit of gunmetal here:

He could sell them for thousands!

Rare JDM wheels.

My dealer just confirmed a January 28th delivery date for me. With luck it'll be earlier. I've got a Perrin 2.5" catback and Helix clear side markers waiting to be installed. The longer I wait the more parts I want to buy....

This one isn't mine, but working with my salesman to get this one to me (my current order has an ETA of March). Dealer in my state just got a CWP w/PP

Gunmetal wheels as well.

Edit: This car was actually was never available (it's someone else's order), but the dealership listed it up just to get my hopes up

Looks like it's still March for me

That doesn't look bad on white. I dig it. I do think black would look better on white though.

First post here wooo. been lurikin for about a month or so. Ordered a PP 17 brz on 11/5. Dont have a vin but eta is still February. I really hope the shipment with my brz has the black wheels. Im not a fan of the gunmetal ones at all.

Same, I was really looking forward to the panda look. At least this gives me a reason to start looking at wheels now...

yeah that's honestly a bit disapppointing. oh well.

goldenfri · 01-05-2017, 05:27 PM

A can or two of black plasti-dip isn't too expensive.

I do wonder what Subaru would do if someone makes a big enough stink about this since it does clearly say they are black many places on their website.

Drambeenie · 01-05-2017, 05:29 PM

Congrats on the car!

I'll be getting my rims powder coated satin black. It's not that expensive to do if you're really not happy with them being grey.

BboyRuda · 01-05-2017, 05:37 PM

I wonder if the Series.Yellow will be gunmetal too. Lol

this is the question.... really it should be black. I mean.... yeah. It should be black. This would now make the series yellow actually a particularly cool purchase if they were the only ones that came black.

Congrats! I much prefer the gunmetal rims. I guess California will get the first cars then hopefully my sons car will be dropped off in Brunswick GA!
