Picking up some BBS CH-R black rims tonight. They are really for my WRX but I'll throw them on the BRZ and take some pics.

Stock height with TSW Mirabeau 18x8", tires are Falken Azenis PT-722 235/40/18

I went with the same sidewall height you would if you went with 17"s for two reasons, one so the gap between the tire and wheel well is that much less and two, the ride is that much better.

So I guess, the darker the shade of the color, the easier it is to pull off 18's and the stock height?

Great pics guys!

These cars look great at stick height with some oem style wheels.

However, I just want to mention to the people worried about lowering your car that, this car has short and high front and rear over hangs. My car is on max height setting fortune auto coilovers (~1.5" lower than stock) and I have no issues scraping driveways or speed bumps. My %100 stock s2000 (oem front lip) would scrape nearly everywhere.

So simple yet so nice. Doesn't even look stock height anymore!
