Those look good. I also have a set of the RS 2.0 rims but mine have the dreaded "flakey paint" problem. So... I have snow tires mounted on them. Yes, I have had to drive my garage queen in the snow a couple of times. However, I got them mostly to protect the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summers that may be damaged by the cold weather and are totally useless in/on snow or ice.
(Sorry mine is a BRZ not an FRS)

Looks good on BRZ too. Mine have the flaking too but they dont look too bad unless you are right in front of it. If it gets unbearable I'll probably get them refinished. I am coming from original OEM rims and these look at a lot better to me even with the peeling.

Surprisingly not, but I did notice that afterwards my diff started leaking a good amount of fluid. Hopefully it’s leaking from the drain or fill plug and isn’t seeping out of the diff cover.

Yeah I’ve been too lazy to remove them. I probably will take them out next time I wash the car. At least I bring it to the track and they’re not all for show yk

I wouldn't mind red but it's mismatched and there's use to being on the other end of the visibility spectrum.
The BRZ paints are the same as the FRS.
What you have there is a Firestorm car with an Ablaze bumper cover.

You get a lot of attention on the street with numbers on your car.

Btw, how does hwy 1 look after all the storms?

I drove Highway 1 from Pacifica to the Road Closure on Big Sur and it wasn’t too bad; there were areas where mudslides were present, but the roads were already cleaned by the time I was there.

As for the numbers, I was just too lazy to remove them, I don’t drive with them on 24/7. It surprisingly doesn’t get that much attention, definitely far less than some of the questionable cars I see on the road.

Did pads and rotors all around, then detailed the wheels while they were off.
