Is it weird that I like the smaller wheels?
 
I absolutely love the styling of the BRZ/FR-S except for one thing: the wheels!

Now I don't have much intention of keeping stock wheels on the car, but for the first year I'll probably be stuck with 'em until I can save up enough for a good, quality set of wheels from a Japanese manufacturer (read: Volk, Work, Wedssport, etc.) and I honestly like the look of the 16" wheels offered on the BRZ's in Japan better than the 17's which to me look bland and Camry-like. I also plan on getting 18" wheels when I go aftermarket, so it's not the size so much as the style that puts me off. Am I alone in thinking this?

16's look good, they remind me of RS Watanabe wheels.

Because it looks better. I wish they make it 17".

I'm with you on this.

I'd like the 16s if they were 17s. They look simpler and all one color.

I'd love some all black rpf1s though....

Giccin 03-26-2012 07:33 PM

Same. I also like 16'' wheels too.

ZetaVI 03-26-2012 07:38 PM

I think the 16" are really good looking also.

tranzformer 03-26-2012 07:38 PM

I prefer the 16'' wheels as well. Wish they were stock and the 17'' an option.

I plan on swapping rims at some point. I'll stay with 17's but a completely different design. Even the 2012 WRX look like a nice (albeit heavy) alternative.

I have to disagree; I like the 17s more than the 16s, but would never put anything bigger than that on this car. 18s are out of the question as far as I'm concerned.

Make 16" style in 17" then let the buyers choose.

powertrip 03-26-2012 08:06 PM

I like em, but I much prefer 17's to larger. Especially when it comes time to buy new rubber for them ;)
