It is not bad actually. Sounds better than the 718 WRX.

The ONLY thing I want to know after reading through 16 pages of this crap is this: Why does the M2C photographed in Canada have the original M2 wheels? If I had the option I would have picked them over the new style.

The US doesn't get those wheels, I believe Canada and the rest of the world does. I agree, the only thing I don't like about my incoming M2C is that I cannot get the original wheels in black like on my wife's F80. They are just very sexy wheels. The new ones, not so much. Hell I would have been okay with 666Ms.

I think I'll start looking for a used set. Absolutely loved the stock wheels on my M2.

Yeah they are very pretty. You can usually find them on the F80/2 for sale section or regional sections. But sometimes people ask ridiculous prices like $2100

They might grow on you over time - I know they 788s have for me.

I wasn't sold on the 666Ms until I had them - now I really love them, and can appreciate the design better in person. When there are a lot of spokes (666 and 788 both have this feature), they don't photograph well until you've seen them in person. When clean and with some tire shine - then they will look better, or at least it has worked that way in my case.

I can see that. If they had the 666s for the M2C in silver I would get that in a heartbeat. Those to me are gorgeous.

There are a few OG M2s with 666Ms and I think they look great on the F87 - can't wait to see how they look on the M2C.

That may be a "mod" I do down the line depending on whether these stock wheels grow on me. Although I do want a definitive answer to the question of how the black wheels actually look like in real life compared to the bi color

You think? Granted, this is the first clip I’ve heard of the new Supra, but I don’t think that has anything on the M2C or M3/4 ZCP.

Sounds weaker to me...

Need more examples of both!

Very good point - we all know the difference is huge between a cold and warm S55.
