We had a good customer allow us to test fit his
Rota D wheels (18x8.5") on our BRZ. We think it looks very nice. Tires are 235/40R18. These won't be on the car for the long term, but we did get some nice pictures and established that they'll fit up well. We'd probably go down a little on the tire diameter -- these are 3.2% larger than stock. A 235/35R18 would be a better match for the stock diameter.
The BRZ has 850 miles on it now. Break-in is almost complete! I plan to put it on the dyno as soon as it cracks 1000 miles, and we'll swap our prototype stubby no-muffler rear section on and off to see how much power (if any) muffler removal is worth.
We popped in some LED turn signal bulbs, and a different turn signal blinker module. (Without the proper blinker modules, the LED bulbs will blink extra-fast.) The LED bulbs are clean and white looking when they're off. We like the style. They also come on faster than incandescent bulbs, which could be some kind of safety advantage, I suppose.
We sell the bulbs as a kit,
HERE. You get four LED bulbs and one blinker module. These will PROBABLY work on the FR-S, too, but I haven't verified that yet.
In up-coming posts I hope to be able to write about some of the parts we have in the prototype phase.
