I might be miss-reading this, but it seems that they take a car which handles and steers sweetly (halleluyah!) on its relatively modest wheel/tyre combination, and then risk screwing that up by fitting the biggest wheels they can squeeze in because they think it looks good?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were lighter than the stock ones, which no matter how you look at it, are ghastly

Would really like this car to be a huge success, if only for the future models that would be developed and tuning firms which will undoubtly take this car to its heart and turn it into the new modifiers dream car......if successful i am sure Subaru could shoehorn a turbo'd engine under that hood in the future

given Scion have already managed to do that in the car above i'd say its possible subaru could do similar

interesting to see the Subaru & Toyota in this months Top Gear mag "This isnt just a world exlusive drive of the BRZ, its 12 hours of sliding, drifting and thrashing the best car subaru's ever made. Worth the wait? Clue: Yes." ...
