Seen them before and they are ugly as hell. Don't work with the car at all.

You'd probably spend more time cleaning the wheels than actually driving the car ???

I'm disappointed with the design of the wheels, and with it being equipped on the RC-F. It gives an illusion of the face being convexed, which I don't like, oh and the many spokes.

To mesh like in my personal opinion

I think a much more open wheel would be a nicer choice

a nice solid five spoke or clean multispoke wheel would look nice ( 10 spokes at most)

Well this is the technically the First wheel design we were all given...

From the Jan 14’ NAIAS press kit..

#1





No Likey...

Then we have second with Two-Tone blades

#2







No Likey...


And the clear winner is the third version..

#3







All 3 - BBS wheel designs will get the same tire specs...

Front 19x9 with a 255/35

Rear 19x10 with a 275/35



I expect the front wheel to have an approx. 45+ Offset and Rear to have an approx. 50+ Offset.

I like the two tone blade style. Third one looks too flowery, would rather they stuck with a 2008 2IS wheel

An LFA inspired or even revised 2014 IS F wheel would have been better

I meant style and color. Obviously 19" or 20" would suit the RC and RC F better lol !
