Just get 17x7.5 or 17x8 wheels you really like with 215/45-17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires.
People way overwheel and overtire their FR-S for looks and make the ride quality and handling worse than it can be ... keep that unsprung weight down as low as possible for a daily driver and the ride quality goes way up! A 205/45-17 or 215/45-17 Firehawk Indy 500 has way more grip than needed dry or wet along with better than stock ride quality, and with a good 17" aftermarket wheel will drop ~ 4lbm off stock wheel/tire weight. Now if you see cold and snow and need a tire to do that as well, then Firehawk Indy 500 is not recommended. If you live in a cold /snow climate you really should be running dedicated summer and winter tire sets anyways.
I've never had a better daily driver tire than the Firehawk Indy 500s... much prefer them over the Continental Extremecontact DWs and they should be comparable to the Extremecontact Sports in the dry (but better in the wet) for less money.
For $1300 you can get a set of Enkei TS-V wheels + a set of 215/45-17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires...
