Hello from Milwaukee,
I am interested in ordering a 2023 BRZ limited which comes with 18" wheels. Based on what I've read and seen in video reviews, I prefer a 17" wheels for smoother ride, appearance and less curb rash. Does anyone agree/disagree? Subaru does not offer 17" wheels on the Limited. Wondering if anybody near Milwaukee with a brand new or future BRZ with 17" wheels would be interested in trading wheels?

Planning to order soon with delivery in Spring 2023.

I understand where you're coming from. I ordered a Premium model because I wanted 17" wheels. My prior car was a GTI and the low profile tires and stiff suspension resulted in many popped tires from potholes (and there are many in Indianapolis!). Why not just order the Premium model? I didn't see the other features on Limited as being must-haves.

Thanks for your reply. I'll be using the car for daily drives around town so comfort and safety are important. I am so used to blind spot monitoring on my other cars and the BRZ has some blind spot issues. So I figure if I get the LImited, I can swap wheels and get the best set up for me. Hope you're still enjoying your car. I see quite a few late models being sold with low mileage, I wonder if buyers have remorse in the first year.
