ewwwwwwww these wheels do not suit this kind of car! What were they thinking?!?!?! Rays, Enkeis, BBSs, are what suit this kind of car, not this "DUB" "BLING" crap!

"Scion is so fresh and original and unique, bro! They're different, and they hafta stand out!"

This is the marketing crap that Scion dealers are fed, so no doubt they took the formula that worked for selling xB's and tC's and applied it to the FR-S. Why do you think I wanted this car badged as a g#%d@mn TOYOTA??!!

We should call and complain that they let 'underdeveloped adults' put wheels on this car.

Those wheels are Fugly, if someone here on the forum is considering 20's or chrome wheels for any size, GTFO and hand over their cars to someone who will do it right with proper tuner wheels.

I agree with you. When I looked at the pictures it doesn't look wide; I wrote down what I saw on the tire.

The saddest part is that I think the dealer intends to use this car for test drives. I test drove this car pre bling. Not going to be any indication of what people will actually buy.
However I think they are still pretty good overall, the service department didn't pull any thing on me when I took mine in for weird sound inspection

The pic of the huge rear wheel with a tiny rear brake is awesome.

They didn't even put NICE 20s on it

OP you should let the sales manager know that the people looking to buy this car don't want huge wheels, and that it's probably going to end up costing him sales.
