Those wheels seem very plain and also down market for, what, a $400K car.

I'm a serious minority here.
I love 5 spoke wheels and while these aren't the most attractive out there, they are far from terrible or ugly.
5 spokers look way cool when moving or sitting still. They are more aggressive and sporty with that open faced design. You can get better cooling and they are often lighter.
Yep, 5 spokers are the way to go. I'd rather see a 4 inch lip, though.

They look good, just a little plain for the lfa i think. It's like Beyonce in sweats.

But, here's the other side

Two different sets of wheels. Still the first set is too plain and the 2nd one is a split spoke. I mean damn the OEM wheel is a split spoke. What the hell? How about a deep dish lip or a concave lip? COlor match?

Very blah.

Edit seems they are concave

The split spokes on the right side are ugly to me, but the 5 spoke would be decent if they had a better finish, maybe gunmetal, thing is they just look like an afterthought. They look bigger than stock though, and it looks like the LFA sits lower than usual, probably not though.

Hm, the design themselves don't look too bad, but they def. need to go with a IS-F BBS gunmetal or darker finish so it doesn't look so boring/OEM-ish.

for one thing, the spoke is a little on the skiiny side.

the other one looks like a stretched IS wheel with concavity

both boring

The SEMA LFA looks like has a more aggressive staggered wheel setup than stock. The stock wheels are a bit tucked in.

Definitely, looks like they are spacers placed in the wheels since it seem like the wheels are sitting more flush with the fender linning than stock.
