Car looks clean! Can I ask why you went with a 30 offset? I chose a 38 for up front, same for the rear but 10".

I just wanted something more aggressive as I knew I was going to stay with a square setup (my last 4 wheel setups have been staggered so I wanted to try something different). I saw how a couple setups sat with the +38 and with the help of Touge Factory, they thought that a +30 would be closer to what I was looking for (at least for street use) considering this car would likely get a totally different 17" setup if I were to track the thing.

Haha I drive it plenty when it's nice out, but I do have a 110+ mile commute daily and that's where the BRZ comes in. I actually plan to take it out in the next couple weeks provided I don't buy any more mods for it when I know I shouldn't be lol. I miss driving that thing...winter feels like forever.

I figured it had to do with that. Well looks good man, i'm glad I chose the classics, sorry to spoil it though, haha!

We will have the same wheel but there will be a bunch of differences anyways. I almost with with the BCA face. I just love fully polished too much (i'm going to hate myself when it comes to cleaning them though).

Why did you choose the race over street? Weight savings? I was quoted for weight on the street version and they are just about the same weight as the stock wheels so that was ok for me.

Looking good!

Been awhile since I updated this thread...

Attended/filmed/shot the FRS & BRZ meet hosted by Touge Factory at Autobarn Countryside - here's a snap of the car after going a bit lower.

Link to the video if you missed it:

Mod bug hit a little harder after the meet:

Decided against my original plan for the exhaust and went with the TF Titanium Axle Back which has been absolutely perfect for daily driving (not to mention the weight savings).

I also added an AFE Takeda Intake and cleaned up the front end a bit by getting the reflectors painted SWP.

Mike, I met you back in 2009 at Bimmerfest in Santa Barbara. I was with Greg and Jae from GTMotoring/Challenge. Glad to see you're continuing your love of great sports cars with a beautiful BRZ.

Hey man, nice to hear from you again!

Yeah I had been following the development of this car since its concept stages and as luck would have it, I had the opportunity to sell my DD at a great time and snag this all in the same week.

How's yours coming along?

beautiful...then again i'm biased
