IIRC they are 20.x lbs.

Depending on the discount, the TS might be a better buy than a standard BRZ due to the limited avaibility.

Nicely detailed and really shows how things add up fast!
And people really think they are going to get a $40K out the door Supra?

The base 17x7 wheels are 20.x. The tS comes with 18x7.5. Unless they're forged, which they're not, I can't imagine them being the same weight as the base wheels.

I suspect the tS will be heavily discounted in the next few months. I'm expecting 4-5k off. The difference between the tS and the base is that there are only 500 of them. Depending on what Subaru brings for the next generation (if they do), the tS will most likely hold its value better than a base model.

They are flow formed cast MAT rims by Enkei.

There were weights listed back long ago on the Japanese sites. My STI 17x7.5J rim is 18.4lbs. I remember the 18x7.5J was 20.something lbs but my memory could be foggy. Worst probably 19.x lbs.

I tried Googling but couldn't find a definite answer.

The tS run is complete. They all have been allocated and moved on to the 50th anny BRZ.

Velost was able to get me a lust of what cars were still sitting on lots.

There’s a white one in transit but that’s the only one.

There are 213 left. If you don’t count cars in California, that’s 155–or 30% of the projected 500.

Not many left if you live in New England/New Jersey/ New York

Would you say a search on cars.com is pretty accurate in terms of current availability and dealer location?

I'd say autotrader.com is more accurate.

I'm pretty sure they are heavier than that. The performance package wheels weigh that much and they are 17".

I thought you were planning on getting a tS, did you change your mind?

I did, haha I was the 2nd person on here who got it. Picked it up February 17th!

[Swabodda]

I'm not sure if any have sold in Houston (none in the owner's thread here), and they all seem to be at MSRP still or very close to it.

I'll be picking up a WRB in late July. Two more payments left on my wife's car.

Ok that's what I thought. Your old profile stuff threw me off. What's your impression of the tS so far compared to your hyperblue?
