Default Silver and Black Lexus RC-Fs at Lexus of Calgary (Alberta)

Stopped by Lexus of Calgary and got the chance to see RC-F in person for the first time. Definitely, a great looking car. I am still a bit reserved on the chunky nose, but rest of the car is stunning. Even with the super ugly wheel design, it looked fabulous. The wide stance is so muscular and mean. I also noticed many design elements I never even saw in pictures (For example, the trunk lip being pointed upwards).

I talked to a sales guy regarding a test drive. He said the black one just got sold as someone just walked in and said "I want to buy this car" without a test drive. They plan on selling the silver one without a test drive as well. In short, no demos available for now.

I might check out Lexus of Royal Oak, which is a much bigger dealership. Apparently, they have a few RC-Fs as well. Hopefully, I will also get to see the better buzzsaw wheel design and the standard wheels (best design in my opinion for RC-F).

Thanks for the report. Now that I've seen both "premium" wheels, I can say for sure that buzzsaw looks worlds better. Still waiting to see the standard wheels but from pics here those are still my favorites.

You are welcome. I will check out Royal Oak Lexus next week and see if the RC-Fs over there have the other two wheel designs and take pictures, if that is the case.

In real life, the design of the wheels is underwhelming. It screams "luxury cruiser". Does not convey a sporty message. I could see these wheels on an LS. Still, the stance is so aggressive that masks the wheel design issue. I also agree the standard wheel design seems to be the best. I would like to see the buzzsaw wheels to see how they look in real life.
