Default RCF Wheels--Selection and Pricing

I secured this information from an executive working at Lexus Corp. It's real.

Premium 2 wheels are hand polished--the way I'm going. If you are going to aftermarket wheels immediately, get the standard.

I like the buzz saw design most (premium 2). It gives a more 3D look to the wheels.

Excellent info...!!!!

Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 or aka 5x4.5

All 3 OEM - BBS wheel designs will get the same wheel & tire specs:

Front 19x9 + 50 offset with a 255/35/19 Michelin PSS Tire

Rear 19x10 +41 offset with a 275/35/19 Michelin PSS Tire


Here are some real world pics...


Split Five Spoke (Standard)




Split Ten Spoke




20 Spoke w/ Hand Polished Blades

Not a feeling of any of those wheel choices. Decided on these instead...



Decided to wait on the RC-F, and get a Huracan instead. I guess people do cross shop other vehicles.

I think they could have gone with a bit more aggressive OEM styling..

They all look a bit too "soft" and flat for me.

The only one that appeals to me is the Standard, since it has the most curves..!!

And we respect your decision to cross shop..

Of the three choices, I think Standard is the best of the bunch. I certainly wouldn't pay extra for the other two options.

I dont mind standard, prem2 looks better IMHO...

But I am sure most people buying it will be getting some aftermarket wheels anyway. Gotta make it unique.

Yep. Those optional wheels aren't worth the money. Standards are fine, and then aftermarket I go.

Go standard and save for aftermarket....almost in every case for me.

My sentiments are the same.

There won't be many RCFs in rural PA, so I am not concerned about finding the wheels on a lot of vehicles. In California and Florida, I am sure the car will be more readily seen.

I like whichever one I can get my hands on first.

Seriously, I've liked option 2 from the beginning although many seem to dislike. It looks like there is a good depth and complexity. Love the "two tone" metals as well.
