Looks like a circle W design to me. Ugly. I believe they are optional here in the US as well.

Arrow I'm not a fan of them....
Here's some more......






They seem interesting & carry that G-Spider wheel "look"...
The "Liquide Graphite Finish" is present as well..

Maybe it's the same Designer for both wheels..?!




Below are the G-Spider Wheels

Maybe it is the same designer, but I def like the G-Spider look better. I don't like the diamond shape in between the spokes which gives it that flower look.

I don't see the flower. I see 5 big ugly Ws.

Are you in the market for F? If you get it you have to give me a test drive.

Not short term, but it's on my short list of cars to consider later. I really don't find any of the standard F-wheels to be very attractive.

Just sent an E amil to my dealer to make sure that my '10 IS F would have the original style rims. I'm not sure I like the new ones.

I think the new wheels are pretty sweet. I prefer them over the 08/09 wheels. I am also pretty excited for the new LSD.
