Nothing is listed for the BRZ but it looks like that fits all the Subaru's so it should be fine for the BRZ as well, right?

Nice find on the $130 tires as well.

Depending on what you guys say I may very well be ordering me some wheels this morning. Hope somebody in the know replies!

Interesting thing about costco was that when I put the wheel in the cart the price was higher than in the list before it went in the cart? However that seems to be corrected for today. There is also a $70 Michelin rebate program, but not applicable at costco.

Sometimes that appears to be true other times not? Spray laquer can fix any colour!

So will it work on our cars? lol

Michelin rebate is instant rebate at Costco.

No. Foot note #3 says: Roue grise / Grey wheel

Also, for the "T" model the footnote says: : Roue take-off : quantité limitée / Take-off wheel : Limited quantity

I don't know what take-off wheel means.

What do you guys think?

CTC Michelin Xice Xi2s 205/55/R-16 $194.99 - 17.50 rebate = $177.49

I also see CTC has two grey x40867 one ctc code 0096230P = $79.99 and 0096230 = $89.99, but nothing to indicate the difference? Maybe just "take off"?

"Take-off wheels": apparently arer new tires and or rims that were mounted on a new car then taken off when new car had another installed wheel or tire upgrade.... was the reference that I found? Seems plausible.

Gray steel wheels are too ugly.

I agree, but for best fit? Those may also be heavier as they have fewer holes than some of the black x40867's?

Both models are gray!

Can't you get cheap wheel covers though? :P

[RoryTate]

With spinners!

Just ordered them through Costco online. 4 wheels shipped straight to my house for less than $110. Can't really argue with that.

I'll take pictures once they are on so people can see what ugly gray wheels look like on a SWP BRZ.

I looked into the ~$130 Xi2's at Canadian Tire... Couldn't find anything for anywhere near that price!

You'll be my guinea pig! But even if they look fine on SWP I think they will look bad with WRB.
