So if these indeed hold true (probably stock on the highest model) it will be an elite set/size of wheels for an elite vehicle!

You said special I said elite. Only a handful of production cars roll 21" stock. It is a bold statement from a bold car. And I'm sure they're a lightweight specialty from Rays.

Even aftermarket 21's are not easy to find. Very rare.

You'll need something to clear those massive brake rotors. We all know that smaller diameter wheels allow the car to accelerate/brake/corner better, but would you want 16" wheels on the new IS-F?

It's aesthetically pleasing on this car.

For some reason they dont look all that big on this car for some reason... I just figured whatever size they were they fit the car perfectly.

i thought 18s were the best when it came to best in terms of handling. anything larger is simply aesthetic with a depreciation in performance handling. correct me if im wrong?

I never thought I would see the day when high performance cars brag about their rim size.
Don't let Ferrari find out, lol....they don't see anyone as competition, can you say 36" from the factory. lol

I can't wait to see the cover or EVO or Motor Trend etc.

The new GT-R...RIDING ON DUBs +1!!!!
Can you say 21s????
GT-R=21" is better

lmao
