I've warmed up to them significantly. They look 10x better in person than in pictures, I must admit. I'll keep 'em around for winter spares

I'm only doing 225 tires all around with the stock wheels. It is a pain to clean though coz of all those corners...
If I put anything bigger than 215's on them won't that stretch them.

I think they look all right. Pretty narrow wheels though.

I didn't like them from pictures, but think they look much better on the car when you see it in-person. I'm happy with them for now.

The problem with the stock rims is that they look too damn flat. They needed to be more concave-like and that way it would look a lot more aggressive looking.

Way better looking than what I have now. I loved them the first time I saw them. No changing for me except during winter

As far as the looks, I like everything except the tail lights. But many people tell me the tail lights look nice, so I'm starting to like them too. :p The rims, they're perfect for my taste, but they're just so hard to wash... :/

I already swapped my rims out within the first 2 weeks. but not because of looks, because of function. Those 7 in tires let loose way to easy. If i were driving on a track, id love the tires. But for everyday purposes more grip is necessary. I plan on putting some more power to the back so 7in tires really had to go... Imagine that 328hp turbo with 7 in tires. You wouldnt even be able to hold the road with that kind of power.

Haven't had my BRZ for a week yet but I can't remember what the wheels look like so I guess they didn't leave a big impression with me. Not in a hurry yet to switch 'em though.

Awesome, then there may be a market for my stocks when I ditch them.
