Wheel Directory: OEM Subary BRZ (JDM STi Version) 17x7.5 +48

[ChristosG]

Switchlanez your car looks amazing. They need to make a FR-S lip like that because I want it now. I'm assuming the sides skirts would fit my car, just need to find a solution for the front. And those wheels are awesome too. A lot of STi stuff I want to add to my FR-S. TRD needs to step it up.

As nice as switchlanez' car looks, I do have to agree with this. LOVE the gunmetal. Great choice

Mine are also 17" and the 18.4 lbs. figure is approximate based on subtracting the weight of the package (without the wheel) from the total package weight listed on my shipping invoice. I still want to get the weight of the wheel alone if no one else does it first. Mine don't turn out great in most pics I take (black hides the spoke detail) but with the right lighting and a good photographer, they can look better than in person. :p

yes, little HDR to help bring them out in the shadow - good eyes. But they really do look about like that - just not as defined/bright. I think the photo still gives a good idea what they really do look like.
I picked the GM as, yes, silver is common, and b) I think silver draws the eyes a bit too much, I wanted attention firstly on the car, then on the wheels.

I like the black on yours, especially whiting the branding, really looks great. But still prefer the GM :-)

Is yours dropped any? which springs/shocks?

I'm happy for the moment, but would like to drop it a half on some 'girlfriend' class springs/coilovers, and do the exhaust. I'd go JDM STi if I can, but don't know much about the specs on the JDM springs.

^Yeah, I'm on STI springs and stock shocks.

[stout90]

damn that looks killer!

I would really love to see those STi aero pieces painted, lol.

@G4mb17 - combined your topic with the older topic about this wheel in the same spec. I like the gunmetal a little better than the black, though.

Are you also using the 225/45-17, looks to me it's one size larger.

Hey switchlanez, your car looks great.

When did you get your STI springs as I'm currently waiting on some and I'm told they are not available.

Also how do they ride? Firmness, body roll

Still waiting for my STI splitter too

Yup that's what I'm using.

Thanks, I ordered my springs shortly after they were released and got them within 2 weeks after ordering. Ride quality is almost identical to stock, maybe a little firmer since stroke travel is shorter but that might be a placebo effect as it's hard for me to tell. It handles more confidently but that might be due to my wider rubber. Sorry I can't give you any straight answers. >< Took a while for the drop to settle to the height you see in the recent pictures... that's after 1.5 months of running on them and I'm very content with the height now unlike the initial few weeks after I installed them.

Thanks! I am going with the 18 inch version so I will be using 225/40-18(the 18 inch version is also 7.5J), which is also one size wider but for a daily drive is perfect.

Those would look great on a grey FRS or BRZ
