They were highly rated for summer performance but also aquaplane resistance. I need something good in the wet as this is my daily driver. Got them at Tire Rack...

So far my TPMS light hasn't clicked on, but I'm expecting it to.
BFG KDW2? Great in the wet, but godawful loud.

Gave her a quick wash and installed the Ground Control truss bar since I didn't have the bolts with me when the plates went on.

Yes, stock wheels. Check my build thread:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=833664

They only run about $1K. I'm going to send the details to Brady at Pure Automotive and see if he can get a deal on them for guys/gals here that are interested. They are the 4-pots, intended for the WRX but are compatible with the BRZ with a few different bolts for the caliper brackets. Otherwise the Wilwood BBK 6-pot kit runs about $1.7K but also fits in the OEM wheel. Feel free to PM me if you want more details.
