2017 BRZ limited wheels are Not Black.
 

First BRZ limited 2017 with performance package cars delivered today.

both of them are Gunmetal Gray.

None of them are black.

People are wigging out (rightly so!) as the act of choosing and deciding one's new car color was severely impacted by the change from polished silver accent standard wheels, to the change to all black wheels on the P.Package. Or... the assumed change. Many wanted White paint to give a black and white look, or black on black, or in my case, Wanting black wheels with DGM so that the only gray on the car was the car, not the accessories.

well, screw that, they are apparently Gray wheels, painted metallic gunmetal gray.

Just a tip for anyone wondering about new OEM wheels. Check the BRZ forum.

Why this is a issue? I don't recall any material from subaru or any review where they were black. On all materials they were gray, so this is kinda obvious?

EDIT: apparently on some Subaru website they were listed as black. That reminds me - never trust your dealer lol.

I have the brochure next to me. Black wheels! Dealer says: black wheels. Video advertisement promotional for PP: black wheels. December 2016 video monitor in the showroom for choosing colors and options, updated to show PP and new interior: Black wheels.

mmmmm

These wheels?

Does Europe even get the PP?

Yes. ALL the materials said for black for North America and gunmetal for Japan and other markets. Of course most of the pictures we saw early on were actual JDM cars so they had the gunmetal.

USA Subaru build your own website clearly states "17x7.5-inch Black finish aluminum alloy wheels" under the performance package option. Just FYI

Yeah I can understand people being upset. Especially if I had bought a lighter color car to go with the darker wheels.

be glad you didn't get hubcaps you ungrateful ingrates

Anyone know the offset for the wheels for the PP?

Anyone know the part number for these?

They look way better in gunmetal. I'd be ecstatic if I were to get that surprise

Tell that to people that purchased the new Beetle

Maybe "gunmetal" was not politically correct enough for USDM docs given all shooting cases, lol. Though then again it shouldn't be "black", but rather afroamericanish to not be racist? :)
