Exactly. When you can find 8000 ton forged options for the same price, it's not very tempting.

This is interesting. From sti.jp's BRZ STI catalog:

Quote:

*18-inch wheels are fitted with set size (92Y) XL Pilot Super Sport 225/40ZR18 Michelin made. At STI, we recommend installing it with the same tire. (Front 240kPa air pressure specified, Rear 240kPa)

Those are nice tires.

I know. I like those tires. I just thought it interesting that STI made specific mention of them.

18s look better. 17s are lighter.

(All personal preference): 17" are lighter and I think look better with meatier sidewall and a moderate drop. The tires start looking like rubber bands in 18" but might look better if you're dropped more (for reference). In 18" form, the 15 spokes start looking too long and fragile for being rally-inspired (which is what all STI wheels are). 10 spokes would look better in 18" like the wheels from the Forester STI.

STI has been using the 17" model on stock Michelin HP Primacy tires in all their online marketing material so far.

Wow these are some of the best looking 17's I've seen on these cars. Definitely super sweet for BRZ guys.

DSOmegaX · 03-15-2013, 10:14 PM

Well I'm one STi springs as well...it looks like the test car is on their coil overs though

ayau · 03-15-2013, 10:36 PM

Even though 17" STI wheels are lighter than the 18", there are much better options out there if weight is a priority for you.

chanomatik · 03-15-2013, 11:59 PM

The ASGA Spirit BRZ STI-replica wheels are 18x8 +40 and weigh 21 pounds. Kinda hard to beat that.

switchlanez · 03-16-2013, 04:12 AM

^That is a good deal.

Here are 18s with the lower coilover suspension. Something about the wheels seem out of proportion to me. I see a lot of car and wheel face but not enough rubber. They're like rally wheels with some tire missing.

Same goes for the picture from this thread's OP (which was my mistake since they're 18", not 17"):

Or it could be I'm just too used to seeing my 17s.
