OEM+ BRZ Limited
 
Well, it didn't really seem worth posting any photos until I started modifying my BRZ, so, since I got around to installing my suspension and wheels today it seems like it's time to share.

Purchased on 8/15/13 with 7 miles.

Your car has one of those "clean" looks to it. I love it. Props!

Wolfking 12-25-2013 02:04 AM

Good show, sir! Classy, not boy racer!

BolognaWalrus 12-25-2013 02:13 AM

This wheel/drop/colour combo looks amazing!

womensecks 12-25-2013 02:14 AM

Yum, Impuls. Great choice. Originally 5x100, or redrilled?

Proof 12-25-2013 09:27 AM

Hey Drew its Aaron! Way to rep brother the new setup is amazing!

Doctor Who 12-25-2013 09:55 AM

Damn, those wheels are boss. Super clean.

dmarkey 12-26-2013 09:26 AM

Thanks, guys. I'm loving it so far. Still got a long way to go before it's "perfect," but I'm very happy with the look and feel of the car now. :)

They're redrilled, so they have both 5x114.3 and 5x100 patterns now. Do you have any knowledge on the cars they originally came on? I've liked these wheels for years, but I can't remember if they were vehicle specific or just aftermarket from the beginning.

womensecks 12-26-2013 11:06 AM

As it goes, originally for IMPUL x Nissan, I wanna say if was either the 240sx or 300zx they came from.

Any rubbing? btw nice build so far keep us posted!

dmarkey 12-26-2013 01:38 PM

Very minimal rubbing up front right now, and I've only heard it rub out back a couple of times over big bumps. I'm going to let it settle for a couple of days and then adjust the height back up just a hair. Got to do the alignment, too, but again I want to wait until it's settled and adjusted first. I do have the camber plates maxxed out up front, and no other camber adjustment parts installed.

Kimsey47 12-26-2013 01:51 PM

Nicely done bro... Love the clean lines and rice free!

dmarkey 02-28-2014 01:13 PM

Nothing new on the car, but I forgot to update the thread with my newest pictures. :P

Nice car, but to comment you have great vision in where and how you take photos that part I am impressed with greatly. :w00t:

GREAT looking car!!

dmarkey 10-22-2014 09:39 PM

I figured I'm overdue for an update here. Added shifter and rear subframe bushing inserts recently, ordered some clear side marker lights, and refinished the wheels. I took them apart and had the centers painted to match the body color, the hex caps and lips professionally polished, and got some 225/40 and 255/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires to round it all off. Wheels going on by this weekend. Can. Not. Wait.

Car is looking great! I really like what you've done.

艾洛 10-29-2014 01:15 PM

CLLLLLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

If you ever have the time and extra discretionary income, I think adding a OEM '15 fin/beatsonic(non-sharky) to replace the antenna would seriously boost the overall look!

Here's how the car is sitting now. 2005 STi BBS 17x8" wheels with ISC 25mm adapters (et28 final offset) and 225/45 Sumitomo HTR tires. I swapped out the suspension for Bilstein B14 PSS coilovers with Raceseng CasCam plates, and am thoroughly enjoying the improvement in the ride quality and handling.

The BBS Impul wheels are for sale in the classified section. I absolutely love them, but would like to go with an 18x8.5 setup with 225 tires all around since I'm not making the power that these 255 PSS rear tires deserve. I'll probably sell the STi setup, too.

I have a wheel problem. :)

The Impuls are sooooo nice
