Am I the only one that likes how the stock rims look ?
I'm not sure if I'm an oddball here but I really like the look of the stock rims. I keep them nice and clean and remove the brake dust.
In the past couple of days I've gotten alot of compliments on the rims. Yesterday this dude ran up to my BRZ as I was leaving a parking lot saying how much he liked the car and he said "Did you put these rims on?" I told him they were stock and he was flipping out. A couple of girls today that hangout at a couple of the same places as me said they loved the rims. Also, I really like the tires. It's so much funner to lose a little grip intentionally and slide the tail end of the car out. I LOVE when it rains!

I like the rims too! Not too much of a fan of the two tone look on them, but I like them general. I plan on getting them powder coated black though. The rims look really good black!!!!

I like them. THe only aftermarket wheels I'd get would be for snow tires. THat way, when the set I have on wears out, I'll get the Dunlops in the MT Road and Track article and have a set of winter and grippier summer tires.

I love them! I'm going to keep them when I upgrade my tires. Too bad they're only 7 inches wide. If you ever think of going wider tires for stock wheels, then the widest is 235's. But that may run you in a staggered set up (225 front and 235 rear).
I'm only doing 225 tires all around with the stock wheels. It is a pain to clean though coz of all those corners...

They look good. Rims are so hard to please everyone but I think toyota did a very nice job.

Good enough for me. Good textures and covers up brake dust pretty well; to me that's a win!
People even asked me if those came with the car; apparently they don't look stock... lol  But seriously though, they look great in person as compared to pictures.
