Love this. Not enough of these cars see some off-pavement action. I am superbly impressed by how this car handles alternate terrain. Having driven a couple E36 and NA miatas in dirt/snow, The BRZ definitely has a great balance. With a real LSD this thing would be unstoppable; that's all the E36 has over it. Miata rotates too quickly to be very fun on dirt

That looks the business.
Now we need to see some "maximum attack"!

Rally.build also sells some 15x6 san remo corse 15s that fit and are hub centric (he says its tight, seems like no worse than the enkeis), he recommends reaming the upright?(idk much about reamaing) for more clearance, but they are only 200 a piece and made at the fondmetal plant in Italy, and they ship free. I was going to go with them, but since I dd my frs, will be going with 16x7 methods and a 205/55 nokian encompass all weather tire (exclusive to discount tire) due to chunky tread and aramid reinforced sidewalls.

I promise I'll wash my car* sometime soon and you'll see a nice lifted BRZ with these wheels.

*I'll either wash it or get it really dirty/muddy.
