Hi folks,
looking to pick up a FRS/BRZ this week - checking out white as my first choice, because this is primarily an hpde car for me.

Does anyone know who owned this white pearl '13 BRZ with gold colored wheels? Had to be someone in southern mass per the carfax and it's got H&R springs on it (blue - not sure if sport or super):

if i buy this car, i won't be keeping the gold colored wheels - are these popular? anyone want to trade for black oem's?

looking forward to the club.

Those are stock wheels that have been plasti-dipped. You can just peel it off.

As said before those are just the stock wheels. The black OEM STI ones will cost you a bit more (1000+)

That's great if I can peel that color off. Thx.

Next I have to figure out whether there are any other mods on it and get some new hpde wheels and tires, looking at RPF1's, so light so right.

bought the car. unfortunately, it's not plastidip, it's paint. Bought some stripper and am removing the gold paint from the wheels. The stock paint is scuffed up so they need to be repainted. This weekend's project.

The car has H&R Super Sports (stock shocks) and i like the ride a lot. Can't wait to get it on the track.

Thanks. I know what reason I bought the car and it feels like it will be great for the track. Hoping to see some folks out at palmer on july 22, probably my first track day with it.

True, but it probably won't happen before my next track day on the 22nd.. Devens is the place for auto x, no doubt.
