Default CEC Wheels on LFA at SEMA 2010. Yay or Nay?
The supercar Lexus LFA will make its second visit to Las Vegas at this years SEMA Show 2010 in Pearl Gray. The LFA will sport a new set shoes designed by CEC Wheels. The wheel design looks like a blend of two old school Japanese wheel classics, The Yokohama Advan AVS Model T7 and the Advan Kreuzer Series V. Not necessarily an exclusive design, these wheels look out of place for this Japanese supercar. In my opinion, the OEM Lexus/BBS wheel reigns supreme. What do you think? You can check the LFA in person at the CEC Wheels booth #43099 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at SEMA.

Yeah...those belong on a 5 year old Accord or Altima. Way too generic.

No way. These wheels are too simplistic in design. It doesn't match the body of the LFA. The OEM wheels had more detail to them.

Can we see a full picture? I don't like 5-spoke designs unless they're multispoke like the original wheels on the LFA.

Lol... you can't be serious with this? Those look like some wheels a teenager would buy at Pepboys.
