Case in point, frs gets 17s, because its more appealing. but it gives up some ammenities to the brz in base trim. the average brz buyer (supposedly intended to be middle aged) is going to be more interested in nav or hids then bigger wheels, generally speaking. all that said, I am hoping I turn out to be wrong and you guys are right, but I fear I may not be...

No, we want at least 17 inch wheels...16 inch is ok if we are going to pull them off and put on our own rims and tires.
But a lot of people are not going to do that.
16 inch rims on a this car looks too small. Just think, only the base Miata has 16 inch rims...the two higher trims have 17 inch rims. The Mazda Speed3 has 18 inch.
For the USA it is possible that the premium BRZ will have 17 inch and the Limited will have 18 inch. There is still over 6 months to go and content can change.
