A Weds 17x9 only weighs about 400g more, but Weds USA did their special BRZ fitment as a +40. That'll poke out slightly on the rear and a mile at the front, so fail ... and that's one of the better ones!
I don't blame the retailers, they are just catering for what the market is asking for. I just can't believe there isn't a market for some nice, light, affordable 17x9 +45ish (that is, LEGAL) wheels.

I agree for rim size for that tyre, but those tyres he chose are 25lb each too don't forget...
Not blaming the market, WRX's have been out for 20 years now, not like this fitment is new....
