I'm 90% about to buy a '17 PP BRZ, if I do probably get 17x7 wheels and 205/50-17 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3s for it.
Pirelli's are usually a bit pricey for what you get IMO. What are you looking for out your winters?

The arctics dig better, the Xice3 does better in nasty icy stuff, and they both cost less. My top three winter tires right now are the new Altimax Arctic 12's, Nokian Hakka R2, or Michelin XIce3, in that order from most dig-happy tire, to best balance, to best ice tire. (Sans studs.)
