These wheels brought to you courtesy of the "W" hotel chain.

Since the 09' F didn't get the treatment, I HIGHLY doubt the 10' will get them..
Same reason as to why it didn't get the side view mirror blinkers...

The wheels do look kind of akward. It looks like it's trying to be mesh and spokes at the same time. But the new features sounds good.

I rather see the whole car before I make a judgement. But it does look harder to clean. Also is that a side blinker under the f sign? It looks cheap but we'll see wat happens.

I mean, they're not the first pick on my list, but I like it.

They look a few pounds lighter than the 08 and 09 rims. Hey, I don't care if they're a little uglier - if they're few pounds lighter.

I personally like the JDM side markers. If they came on our Fs, I'd probably smoke them out and add some amber leds.

I think the 08-09 wheels are too perfect, and you don't have a reason to buy aftermarket. I like the new ones, we will see more aftermarket rims in future.

Finally, I can see them.. Thanks Rashoodz!!
They are interesting & seem to carry that G-Spider wheel "look"...
The "Liquide Graphite Finish" is present as well..
Maybe it's the same designer for both wheels..?!
Anyone notice the nameless tire??
