Will the STI rims be the same ones as on the WRX with 'Sport Package'? Rims look the same as the JDM BRZ tS. If so, the Sport Package is a dealer accessory, so I don't see why dealers wouldn't want to sell extra 'WRX Sport Package' rims.

Not sure. I'm guessing the 17's since that's what the car comes with. Stated the rims will be black.

I haven't seen a picture of it so I'm not sure. Just know that they're 17's.
Correct me if I'm wrong.. the JDM BRZ tS and the WRX sti rims are different.

17" so that they can use the same Prius tires to save money. 18" and they'll have to equip it with Michelin PSS (not gonna happen since SOA is cheap ass). I've read that it's going to be black.

I'm starting to think it'll be the similar type of deal as the JDM Premium Sport Package.

Primacies are more expensive by far than PSS's. You know that, right? So, it's got nothing to do with SOA being "cheap ass".

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

Hm... this got me thinking...

the order sheet said blue stitching.
head office said blue trim on steeling wheel, seats and interior panels.

Now I'm wondering if it'll look like the brz with the tan interior but blue instead... unless trim = stitching?

That's unbelievable. Per tire rack, the primacies are $190 each, or $760 for the set

The PSS in the same size are $146 each or $584 for the set

Just realized the WRX bolt pattern is different from ours. In pictures the rims look the same. Bummer.

OEM tires are LRR, which is why they're more expensive. Oem tires are almost always more expensive.
