Hi guys sorry i missed that thread !! I'm actually the very happy owner of this BRZ, I in Japan ... so it makes things easier for me to get the stuff i want of course.

Also about the wheels, they indeed are cast , but premium quality really ! and they are tough babies ! still pretty light , 18" wheels plus tires is right the same weight as the 17" stock setup.

As for the ride height, well i also think they compliment the car in such a way it doesn't feel so " 4 X 4 " ish ... yes a litle drop wouldn't hurt but at price of practicality. At the moment i'm totally happy with it stock, handling is fantastic, and traction from those MICHELIN super sport is just out of this world ...

Thanks for all the nice coments, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Most Rays wheels are cast and around the 2k range. Volks are the ones that are forged and cost over 3k a set.

3) tires are Michelin PSS? look it up on Tire Rack
