On paper they're 20mm wider, but my 205 snows are wider than the stock Primacy 215's were. In reality I bet the Primacys measure closer to a 195 or 200 (if they existed).

I remember for the first time seeing a type-R taking a corner at some ridiculous fast speed into a neutral 4 wheel slide at an intersection and I thought to myself "FWD, not supposed to be able to do that.." I'd still pick my FR-S over a type R as a only car, tho.

In the end, I know why I bought my BRZ and am thoroughly enjoying it. I wouldn't compare it to any older cars from a decade ago. If I wanted a decade old car, I'd have bought one already. Wait... I've done that already. Hahaha

You guys are giving me best info. Very good to talk to people that have had dc2 before. In Miami I have to consider theft. I figure fr-s will have about the same theft chance as any other car as Integra is target numbers one. Uptime is important to me and theft/ random part failure could set me back worse than a car payment.
