Default I love the Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ because...

...they're 5x100, which means more wheel options for tC1 owners LOL.

Just a taste of things to come. Check the fitments: 19x9, 18x9.5. You don't have to resort to Rotas to get wide+aggressive+concave fitments anymore.

It makes sense the FRS is $24K. Only competition is the 370z and Genesis coupe 2.0t. The FRS is cheaper than the 370z, but a couple grand more than the Genesis coupe. Although the genesis coupe is the better value, most people will pay alittle more for the reputation for reliability of a Toyota product.

I have a feeling stock for stock the N/A FRS will be faster than genisis coupe 2.0T also, those things are SLOWWW stock. I expected so much more when I first heard about them several years back.

yeah i heard the same thing about the 2.0t being slow, which only made 200hp. for 2013 they increased it to 274 to match the 2.0t in the sonata/optima. the genesis coupe always had the same 2.0t as the sonata/optima, but hyundai detuned it so people would upgrade to the 306hp 3.8 V6. Now that the V6 makes 350hp, hyundai upped the 2.0t.

the 2013 front bumper refresh is hideous. i'd rather lose 74HP and have the earlier front bumper design LOL.

okay same pattern, but what about the center hub? I thought I read it wasn't the same size as our tc1.. i think our tc1 is 52mm center bore..wouldn't it still need spacers?

tC1 is 54.1mm. subaru is 56.1mm. the Volk Racing ad above shows their wheels are 65mm. shouldn't be a problem finding hub rings.
