I think I found my favorite ZN6 configuration. Sunrise Yellow with BBS (RK?) wheels.

Not too low, and not stanced. I’d probably add the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (1/3 down page), just for fun.

I’ve never been a big fan of these wheels, but they seem to work well in this application.

Have another Subaru-built coupe with BBS wheels.

Buy a wrecked one and repaint it.

Don’t think those are RKs. I’m speaking from years of Need for Speed experience here.

<—- RKs

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

<—- These are RIs, which I believe are what you're looking for. Personally, I'm partial the the RKs, but that's not a bad-looking BR-Z.

That explains it, but I believe they are RFs

The RKs just never really looked right to me.

Thanks for the dagger to the heart of a Subaru fan...

I would take a pristine SVX 10/10 over and FT86. AWD and plenty of power. I do a lot of winter commuting, and distance driving, and no track driving. I want an AWD GT much more than a RWD fly-weight sports car with no torque and no interior room.

And if those new BBS wheels are flow formed or forged, and come in 5x114.3, I would bolt them to the SVX... otherwise I would use EVO X MR wheels, which are forged, and 5x114.3, and nice diameter for a bigger coupe like SVX. (Even better if they were bronze, and the SVX were a deeper shade of blue like WRB with the brightness turned down a bit, and a black roof and trunk, and mild tint.

And for the price difference, it would more than cover a 6-speed VTD-AWD rear-biased manual gearbox and R180 Torsen diff swap from a 2007-09 Legacy GT Spec.B The drivetrain an EG33 SVX deserves, but wasn’t available at the time.

Subaru could still produce an EZ36D H6 with that drivetrain, in a mashup of WRX’s floorpan (wide track, but shorter wheelbase) and Legacy/Outback’s amenities, as a slick GT coupe.

But they won’t. They won’t even turbocharge an XV Crosstrek with WRX’s cable-shift symmetrical 6-speed like a WRX, let alone build a WRX coupe, or a GT coupe more sophisticated than that, as I suggest.

Such a shame, and waste of Subaru’s AWD potential.

Let Scion/Toyota have the FT86 cars, and an optional FA20DIT engine for an upgrade (if Toyota is smart enough to use it)... let BRZ go, and let Subaru build the AWD coupe that they should have done from the start.
