My thought exactly.

New winter set up - Enkei EDR9/Conti ExtremeWinterContact in stock 215/60/16. Prefer the 17" BRZ rims but looks fine (+ a bit of mud, it's a Forester, right?).

My backup plan if I didn't like the outcome was to powdercoat gunmetal (similar to OEM WRX rims). But I absolutely love the result. As many have said, these rims tend to look better in person and grow on you over time. The aspen white color and tie in with other gray/black/polished trim (e.g tint, rear hatch trim, grill, C pillar, etc) helps, as do the 225/55 Falken 912's and Swift springs that lower the car about 1.5 inches - gives nice full wheel wells. The blue logo centre caps are way cool.

How well a rim suits a car is obviously a really subjective thing. Just thought this might help folks trying to sell take offs to Subaru owners.

Anyone know of other Foresters on BRZ rims?

BRZ wheels on an SJ Forester. =)

Does the tpms sensor from the BRZ/FRS work on the forester or vice versa?

Pitty foresters themselves after fattening up now look like yet another SUV unlike first gens. XV to the rescue.
