BTW, are this stock wheels painted black? I like!


Everyone of course can have their own preferences, I was just chiming in with my own UNSOLICITED opinion.

Congrats to the owner as he seems to be BALLIN HARD!

Thanks! Yes, they are painted matte black from the wheel manufacturer... but these aren't the stock wheels i got with the car - The image below are the stock wheels.

Also, here's the thread with the details if you're interested: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...-for-rc-f.html

For some reason your wheels look more flush than his on RCF. Is the offset the same? or yours more aggressive?

I love the color of silver polished wheels for the great contrast. Black/gunmetal grey will be too close to the car and not as aggressive in my opinion. Would prefer the rear wheel can be more flush with fender though!

The offset is the same 20x10.5 +45mm rear. I was surprised also that they didn't have the same stance when seeing the pics. The RCF fenders must be wider than the RC350 which I would have never known.

I think it is the combination of hub and fenders. The front is quite flush. I would not want any more poke there. The rear could do with a little more....

Yeah it could be that the hub is different. I bet a 10 0r 15mm spacer would make a big difference

I feel like 20's are a little too big for the RCF and probably hurt ride and handling. 19's in the same design would have been better but that's just me.

Going to 20s from 19s for both handling and comfort is minimally affected for street driving. If you are planning on tracking the car, its a different story.

Wheels look great! Did you finish the center cap mod yet? Would love to see them when you are done. Is brake dust driving you insane yet?
