Beautiful. What width and offset? 17 or 18's?

I think they're 18 X 8.5, but I don't recall if he mentioned offset.

You are correct Roddy. +35 offset all around Front will be flush and pretty close on the rear as well.

I did not know this but if any product is made in Mexico or the states. There is no duty to pay. Because the rims were made in Taiwan I had to pay tax. Still saved $100 by picking it up in ogdensberg. Something to keep in mind when ordering exhausts and the like. Most companies offer free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Yep, NAFTA...AKA Free Trade. Mexico was added to this about 20 years ago.

My apologies, I wasn't too clear. I don't have an FR-S, I'm just an admirer.

If I had the cash I would get it as a 2nd car. I think its one of the nicest looking cars on the road today.

No No. I am aware that it looks like you drive a BMW 1 series. Also a VERY nice ride. All car enthusiasts are welcome.

KingGeo · 02-16-2013, 10:18 AM

guy at work had a 135, got a new 328 ($65k) not along ago and sees me in my FRS... yeah he regrets the 3 series now

Wow, how can one spent 65k on a 328? Must be adding lots of useless stuff..

Thats good to hear.

I didn't know if it would be taboo to post on this forum or not. I'm not partial to any brand.

Part of me is happy with my ride now but part of me is kicking myself too. I hope to meet some of the owners of the FRS/BRZ here in ottawa sometime when the weather is nicer. :happy0180:
