I don't like a lot of poke because of the mess it makes on your body. You're saying putting on a $10k set of wheels on a $30k street car that puts out only 200 hp makes sense? Good luck with that. Is the TRD wheel the best one out there? Not by a mile, but it is better than stock and most of the wheels offered on Tirerack and are more than necessary for this car.
You've done a lot with your car and given your supercharger, wider wheels are called for. But that was not the thrust of this topic. It was simply whether, given the use and price, that the TRD wheels was best for a BRZ that is not going to be highly customized with a supercharger. You are trying to justify your setup to those of us who just want to have a fun car to drive safely. So many people here say the OEM Primacies are not good for this car. Given that I don't have any specific experience with the BRZ, I listened. The change in rims is only because aesthetically, I just don't like the stock Limited rims but still want 17's for ride quality. Obviously, you don't care much about ride quality.
There are people with more knowledge on many subjects with more knowledge than me. I will let others, who are not committed to justifying their purchase of wide wheels and are objective, judge that. You do realize your comments make absolutely no sense, don't you?

Keep comparing photos from afar because that tells you everything. My wheels are sunken in enough such that they don't rub my non-rolled fenders (even when slammed on coilovers) on compression. Not trying to justify anything here, simply stating it's more flush than you thought. No need to get all defensive.
Except maybe for the Dunlops all those wheels/tires I posted were factory options chosen for these cars! Now I see why I don't make sense; you're clearly biased to deny facts.
