I agree on the poor wet weather performance. I bought a set of the UHPs in 225/40/18 for my commuter car just to try them out. I returned them a week later because they scared me when I drove in the rain.

Looks best on a USB, maybe not for other colors. I like it.

For the ISF id prefer the OEM forged wheels. Even though these are WOrk they look like generic Ebay wheels also the finish looks cheap

They don't look bad. Better then stock.

I like the factory wheels better, those just brighten the car up too much.. Too mesh-like as well.

I agree, I don't hate these, but I prefer the stock ones over these.

Wow.. those are really old school and pretty rare. Unfortunately, the design is really dated and not in style anymore... Did this come from another car?

I always appreciate JDM wheels but I don't think the style fits the F very well. To each his own!
