October 2012 issue just arrived in my mailbox. There is also a comparison of the FR-S to the 240Z I posted in the FR-S forum here. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this! Definitely one to keep an eye on. I am also really interested in how the BRZ performs in the winter on the right tires, as winter driving is sort of a mystery to me, having lived my whole life in Phoenix. Well, except for one rather shocking incident with a rented Suzuki SX4 in Boston.

Hah! They're using the same wheels I have installed!

"Even a modest upgrade in power could disrupt the delicate balance between... grip and handling."

I hope not.

I'm going to get those Sparco A. Gara wheels that they upgraded to as well.

Edit @F3dzo
How are the wheels? Bright silver looks great.

In silver would look good... What color is your car?

I haven't bought one yet. I am going to get silver BRZ.
And 17 * 7.5 Sparco A G. Enkei seems to be popular. I hope Sparco equals Enkei's quality.
I was going with Enkeis but the Sparco looks nicer.
