do you have pics when you had the 17's installed ?

Thanks

This looks like Subaru Of America / Canada will be selling the STI Performance Package option for the BRZ similarly to what they already have in Japan, which are the 17" black wheels + full body kit, but not sure if they will throw in the flexible tower bar and flexible draw stiffeners.

I've noticed that at least in Canada, the dealers do sell the flexible tower bar for the Forester (without STI branding).

definitely looks better in 18s!

Anybody was able to get the Parts Number of SOA for the wheels?

krayzie · 04-03-2014, 01:05 PM

I think once you run side skirts you will need 18" otherwise the car will just look too big / the wheels will look too small with 17".

I don't even know if I should buy the front lip because I'm sticking with 17" just so my brakes won't look too small (imo).

if you build a 2015 WRX on Subaru.com, under accessories, you can add what looks like a black brz STI wheel as option for $1,583. not sure if they are 5x100 or not.

CARNZ · 04-03-2014, 02:50 PM

The 2015 WRX is 5x114.3

phuthinhon · 04-03-2014, 03:31 PM

it's like they do everything for us not to get those wheels...

Oh you can get them... Just gotta pay $2k shipped from Japan. They look really good, but for the size and offset, I'm not sold. Too sunk. That's why I really like the replica ASGA Spirit wheels. Unfortunately they're out of silver ones.

You're probably in the wrong thread if you're into rocking replica's.
