    I missed this somehow! Subbed :D

    My pa ran nto3's for a while on the Evo as track wheels. Those are some tough wheels! I like both options you posted.

    :cheers: thank ya sir

    Yeah they are a great looking wheel! And they're not too badly priced either. It's a never ending battle though, too many options out there haha. I like the style of the Lemans a bit better though. They have a nice meaty look to them.

    Agreed. Kind of a retro feel too.

    We also have a 13 WRX hatchback, bought new, five speed and almost entirely stock, aside from some better tires and audio gear. Right now it is parked because the wife broke her foot and can't drive a clutch and the Tacoma is easier to get in and out of...

    Most definitely. That wheel style has always appealed to me.

    What's the first mod gonna be?

    Best wishes to the wife. They are super fun cars and extremely practical as well. I absolutely love mine. I'm excited to do a couple little tasteful modifications, including audio gear. I'm not very impressed with the stock system. What have you done to improve it?

    Nice! Just traded my 13 sti hatch for my Tacoma. Selling all the parts off it if you're interested! Have a Cobb cat back that sounds amazing!

    I really like the Cobb system. I'm pretty set on Corsa for right how. I'll shoot you a message though :thumbsup:

    All we have really done in 35k miles is to do some debadging, a amplifier/equalizer mounted under the front seat and a subwoofer in the back. Winter tires are blizzaks on steel wheels and we went to the Bridgestone PolePositionAS tires for a three season tire. We got a case of correct Wix oil filters, and are using Mobil 1 5w-30. But the car has really needed no maintenance aside from oil changes, plus air and cabin filters. We did have a problem getting a cabin air filter locally, after a mouse incident, but Rock Auto helped us out...

    Hopefully, the wife will get the cast off end of the month and the car can go back on the road.

    Good deal! I actually just debadged mine this past weekend. Definitely would like a new head unit and a 10 or 12" subwoofer. Will probably be looking into that stuff once a couple other things are sorted out.

    we kept the original head unit, just added an amp and subwoofer. I am thinking about sending my taco to same place to improve the audio...

    I wouldn't mind a nice little touch screen unit at some point. What size sub are you running?

    not sure how to measure, but it takes up about 1/3 of the hatch area:)

    Personally I'd go with 18's and grab some tires for them when you have cash to spare. Aftermarket 17's just don't do it for me for some reason. I think a nice 18" staggered setup would look badass on the BRZ.

    Xxr's are pretty reasonably priced too. I'd go for it. Maybe run like a 18x10.5 in the rear with a 18x9 in the front :stirthepot:

    Staggered looks sick on rwd cars but I see where you're coming from.
