I like the standard wheels the most. With the longer spokes that run all the way to the edges of the rim, they actually give the illusion of being actually bigger than they are. Thus, filling the wheel well nicely.

Initially, I liked the buzz saw wheels, but over time I now like the standard wheels the most.

Thumbs up

Seeing the standard wheels makes me wish they went back to the Samurai Sword look of the 08' ISF wheels, or in my case the two tone hand polished spokes I had on my ISF

Superb videos/pics. Thanks!

I ordered the standard wheels. My only concern is how dark they are. Not sure if the shade of "gunmetal" grey wheels will match the USB 2.0 perfectly.

Might look amazing with the NGP. Can't wait to see that combo!

I wonder if the RCF wheels will fit on the ISF without significant fender and alignment mods.. It would be a nice upgrade for my ISF...

I went with the exact same setup NewSpace, the stock wheels look awesome in person, I saw them on a black RC F and immediately changed my mind from the $1500 upgrade wheels to the stock wheels.

I think they'll complement some of the darker trim on the USB 2.0.

The stock wheels also "paid" for the moonroof, the only option I stayed away from was the $5500 Performance Pack.

Oh man, thanks for sharing! That looks amazing, and I'm a fan of gunmetal painted wheels. The stock wheels really have to be seen in person to be appreciated, but that picture sure does them a ton of justice!

You are welcome.

I like the standards since they give the illusion of being bigger than they actually are. The secret is in the spoke design. The spokes are running all the way to the tip of the rim thus giving longer spokes than the other two design. So it creates an illusion of bigger wheels.

Here is another picture for you
