I thought 17" is the upgrade size. I don't think Scion/Toyota/Subaru offer 18".

Not for the U.S. market: 17" will be standard on the FR-S/BRZ, and there will be an optional 18" exclusive to Scion at some point.

First time I heard of that. Hope the 18"s look good.

Im really disappointed that there is no sub in this car. Music needs bass

.

I'm a metal head and I liked balanced sound systems too, it's like I want my car rattling down the street.

17in standard? I'll probably be getting 16in for this car to lose some weight.

We like big wheels in the U.S., I'm sure Scion and Enkei have something ready for the launch wrapped in 225/45/18 rubber.

I think you are a minority on this one. Most everyone here would probably rather have less weight and larger trunk.

I think Scion usually offer larger wheels as an aftermarket part so it's not really an "option" per say. You'll still have to pay for the 17" wheels. When I think options I'm thinking the 18"s are on the car. Who knows, I personally would probably find a used set of STI gold BBS.

Just for simple rear fill add a small self powered sub. It won't sound fantastic but it's enough for 90% of the people out there, especially with an otherwise stock system.

Agreed

The reason I use the term "option" is because sometimes Scion wheels are port installed, not dealer installed.

Eh, I like my music too. All of my systems have always been easy to remove for track days and autocross (quick disconnects for power, false floors easily removed with gear mounted to them, etc). I don't care about the extra 50 lbs of gear on the street.

These are the OEM 18"s they they have for jdm, maybe scion will get them too.
