Which stock JDM wheels do you prefer?
It seems like all FR-S and BRZ models in the US will come standard with the same 17" wheels. But if you could pick among the 3 wheel choices that Japan will have, which would you choose and why?
Low-spec 205/55R 16x6.5 Weight: ? (steel) Mid-spec 205/55R 16x6.5 Weight: 7.2kg (alloy) Hi-spec 215/45R 17x7 Weight: 9.1kg (aluminum) ^Missing some specs; can anyone help specify? Pictured in same order as listed above:

17's they just look great. Slender and the mix of the black spokes with the machined looks sweet. Although the 16s aren't bad either, I certainly wouldn't mind them.

The 16"s would be perfect if they didn't have those "ribs" jutting out. Anyone know what I mean? If the spokes were a continuous curve from the center out rather than having that step.

^I found pics of those but found no info on the Japanese BRZ or 86 websites as they're not part of any trim level. I think they're aftermarket like the Modellista wing-spokes, BBS web-spokes, and TRD and STI multi-spokes.

Probably dealer option, I don't think they are part of a trim. |
