^Yep, same pictures I found. Doesn't say it's offered on any of the trims. I believe that's the same brochure that lists a bunch of other accessories that won't be assembled from the factory (TRD stuff, etc.).

Then I'd get 18" STI's for street and 17" Rays for track.

if i had to stay with them, mid range 16s for sure. I dont feel like the steelies should be an option since there just that, steelies, and most people will change them.

but none of this matters since im getting the frs.

That is exactly the point of steel wheels. Reduced cost to the buyer who doesn't want the wheels anyway.

I like the mid-spec design the best, but I'd rather have them in a 17" or 18" size.

The hi-spec 17" wheels are the standard spec for the US BRZ.

I prefer the mid-spec as 17" size. Doesn't matter to me because I'll change them eventually.

I'm going to have to say alloy 16s just because the tires will be cheaper. And I'd rather spend money on aftermarket light weight 17s for the track. But I'll also need steelies for my winter tires.

Edit: according to the Scion (Canada) website the car already has 17s
