Also on the topic of the OEM fitted 16" wheels. The Base GT 86 model in AU comes with these Enkei kinda watanabe vibe wheels that actually look really nice in the flesh. I think they were 16x6.5" with 205's. If I were ever in a position of needing winter tires, the OCD in me would compel me to find these for my winter set.

I would absolutely love to be able to get a set of these wheels, but importing them from a country that gets them is just too expensive. The shipping alone makes it untenable.

True, but there are always weird people like me that would rather have bright green wheels instead of the stock ones, or people who sell their cars, etc.

I agree. Where I live just had maybe 2 inches, and they shut down everything for 2 days. They complain about how it is the ice, not the snow that is the problem. What it really is about is the total lack of giving a crap to try and learn to drive with the conditions. Other NC people make fun of everyone because they cannot even drive in the rain. Or the dry, drivers down here make driving in Boston or New York look like a piece of cake. These people are nuts.
