The design of black wheels doesn't matter that much to me, it's much hidden anyway

Ya, I think it was 4500 rears and 3500 fronts or something like that. Haha.

The owner of that car deserves to be shot. trading up the factory forged BBS for "rotoray forged" Forgestars? Man what a downgrade. If the owner really had a hard on for mesh wheels he should have opted for the OEM LF-A Nurburgring wheels. BBS RE-MG (Forged Magnesium)

The owner is Lexus US, or lessee if you will

This is likely just a let's be friendly to an
Aftermarket parts friend project

It looks like the wheel work was being done
By the excellent tech who has been supporting
The LFA program the last year and a half

I agree.

These might look better if they were larger but even then the OEM rims just seem to fit the car better. They were designed alongside it afterall

Think these look better than stock, but the car being black kinda makes the wheels seem normal. Maybe they stand out better if they were gunmetal or something.

Have those same on my AMG, great wheels. Strong and light, saved over 30lbs total over stock wheels. Looks great on the LF-A! Nice job.
