New FRS Owner in WA :-) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ravenMTgirl · 08-12-2012, 08:38 PM

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for a while... I got my car a few weeks ago and yesterday I finally got to take it on a long drive, up to Canada and back. I've always had fast/fun cars and this one sure is fun to drive!

I got lucky and didn't have to wait for one when I decided to buy. The dealer I called had just got this one in and it was exactly what I wanted (black/6MT). The only thing was, the dealer had already "slated" it for extras. I thought about just ordering one but my husband said, you know you'll just end up getting these things anyway so just get it now (he was right)! Since the extras weren't installed yet at least I got to pick out the wheels, tires and leather that I wanted.

What wheels are those? They're pretty neat!

NYC BRZ · 08-12-2012, 08:41 PM

UH OH do I sense a leg humping, plenty of pages & views in this thread coming?

BTW, congrats

switchlanez · 08-12-2012, 08:54 PM

^LOL

I don't get how it could be slated for extras yet they weren't yet installed? Sounds like dealer BS. But the leather and wheels are worthwhile upgrades anyway and everything looks great! Curious to know the wheel model as well.

Thanks everyone! The wheels are Axis Xcite http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...k%20Gloss.html

We thought is was BS about the slated upgrades too, but there was a printout in the glove box, so who knows. It included the full clear bra, tint, leather and the wheels & tires. All together it added about $4,000 to the price.
