Default LFA's on 22's

Have you guys seen these? Looks better than I thought it would on big wheels.

The stance and how perfectly they fit makes it look amazing. Looks much more aggressive than stock. I am usually not crazy about black wheels, but I must admit here in the case of the LFA, they look awesome especially on the red LFA.

Looks good. I prefer the 20's on the black LFA though

Ya, I generally like the wheel design despite not really liking the look of black wheels, but 22" wheels are just way too big here.

Hell no man. Thats not a damn R35. 22's are off limits for the LFA. The 20's on the other hand look great.

No way they look too big. I think the size looks perfect as they fill the wheel wells perfectly and also the ground clearance is not any higher. Ofcourse, that is without knowing the weight difference.

I would say 21 inches wheels look the most perfect since there would be no risk of rubbing

too big for me as well. when looking at all these sport cars, i prefer some kind of "functions" left. i think factory 20s look great and it has more "meat" to it. it's the same even when i look at say m3. i don't think 20s look that good on the car

I like some meat on my tires as well but I would definitely do 21's to get more rubber while still getting that dramatic wheel dynamic I crave so much.
The 22's look alright on these 2 LFA's because they are all black....something I would never do but it does tend to make wheels look smaller.
Pics still look kinda big but I assure everyone, blacked out wheels in person cause them to appear smaller.

Are these privately owned LFAs?? They have Falken plates on them.

Too big for my taste as well. The 20" looks hot.

Funny how the 22's make the massive LFA brakes look tiny, lol

Not a fan of these wheels, but the stock 20's look fine. The 22's look like something those fake gangsta wannabe cats would throw on their used 'police car'.

I cannot stop looking at this picture. Stunning beyond belief. Only proper DTM racing car have that type of a menacing stance. It looks like a racing car all the way.
