Why did you buy the color you did? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My first choice was asphalt. I got the ole "bait and switch" over the phone at the dealership and despite being told they had one in stock, they didn't. It ended up working out ok in the end because once I saw the white, I preferred it. It has a more luxurious look to it and I think it'll look great with darker wheels and other blacked-out trim/body pieces.

Also, black is just pure ridiculous to keep clean.

Those are the forged 18X7.5 GT86 TRD wheels available in some markets like the UK. Other markets like NZ/AUS fit black forged wheels.

Didn't really know anything about the FRS at the time. Driving by the local dealership on the way to dinner with the wife and saw the Asphalt sitting out front. Stopped by after dinner to check it out, fell completely in love, traded S2000 on it the next day

SWP because I already had a WRB WRX

Initially loved the Ultramarine and Whiteout. Happened to see the two side by side and I preferred how the light hits the curves on the Whiteout. That said I always smile anytime I see a version of an 86 regardless of color.
