Nice, but are the front rims wider than the rears?

LOVE these, great choice. No modifications necessary for fitment in the front?

That's great news. My vehicle is currently stock but eventually I will do coilovers.. and eventually I will be purchasing these. These wheels are easily better than all of the other options I've seen, with our offset limitations. What I'm thinking now though, would be a different color.

I wish I were down your way, I'd love to take pictures of your car. By the way, what front lip is that? Still new to this platform so I'm not familiar with all the aftermarket pieces. My taste in mods seems to be very similar to yours

Hahaha.. Thank you... Yeah I have been waiting a while for the right wheels to come along.. I would like to believe I'm the only one who has these wheels but I'm sure there is someone out there who has the same wheel set up on their E82. What would be nice to see, is these wheels on others colours body's and the second colour silver.
The front lip is kerscher and there are a lot of vendors out there.

From what I can tell, yours is the only coupe with them on the internet but I could be wrong. They've been put on a lot of other cars, especially the BR-Z/FR-S, but I did not know they were available for us. My car is AW but I don't know how soon I would be getting them. Probably not anytime soon actually but I've definitely got my heart set on them and the Kerscher for when the time comes.

Contact Brian at Echelon Autosports for the lip; he gave me a great deal on mine.

Thank you. You guys should do something similar with straight spoke with abit of concave. It would be a big hit in the E82 market I think. Even with the VMR V721 instead of having the spokes curving in - have them striaght. its only a suggestion

Yeah, I was the same , thinking long and hard, spending hours researching just to make sure it will fit same goes with tyre fitment.
I was 85% sure it would work and had some spare cash.. took a big punt on these wheels hoping they would fit lol. Everthing worked very well for me. I could even drop it more and have no issue rubbing.

how CRAZY does the BRZ look with wide body kit and massive concave lol

I dont rub during normal and sprinted driving. No fender rolled on the front at all.
But in say that i can stress enough about my tyres, front are stretch, If I have gone to a squared fitting I might have rubbing in the front end

This is exactly what I was looking at for mine. Putting on Koni yellows and H&R springs as well. Just wish we could go with less backspacing.
