i havent looked at the fr-s ones, but 90% of new toyotas have replaceable rubber inserts for around $12.

There are better quality blades than OEM these days. The Michelin branded ones are good and you usually replace the whole thing.

I'm gonna stick to OEM inserts on this car. Always have bad luck with squeaking and poor wipe pattern with aftermarket blades

If you're going to get wiper blades etc, I would suggest something from PIAA, they have great ones.
