OP, most people just get an extra set of rims. You can usually get a set for about $500

I had the same issue until I found some used (slightly bent) OEM rims for 500 bucks. I had them trued ($200) and now have summer rims and winter rims. I think thats a better option than swapping out your rubber every 6 mos.
just an option. ps the BRZ is *very* different to drive from a Z. I recommend a few very aggressive test drives in both. (ie really open them both up on a freeway on ramp) ...Then go buy your Z

Suppose a farmer with a rowboat is on one bank of a river with a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn. He wants to get the fox, goose, and the sack of corn to the other side of the river but can only carry one at a time in the rowboat.
How does he do it?

Get the Z and a set of winter wheels for the winter tires. swap them at home. Problem solved. While the FR-S/BRZ is a nice looking car, they are slow and not as fun to drive.

nope, 4 tires wont fit. This is what I did:
1) Put tires on my wife's VAN 2) Drop off tires to tire shop. 3) Drive Z to Tire Shop and install. 4) Pick up tires on wife's Van. Done. |
