I highly doubt they used spacers to display their new wheels... Especially at SEMA!!

(Edit: They used 4 spacers on the LFA )

I'm quite sure they built a custom offset of these 2 wheel designs to showcase on the LFA, with of course a proper agressive fitment..

New Stunning Photos below thanks to "krew" @ SEMA this week...

Thanks. Yes, it must be the offset then since it does seem more staggered than stock.

Awesome pictures. I think the rear 3/4 angle picture will look great with the other set of wheels. I am liking these wheels.

I will say that I actually really like the passenger's side wheels. I thought I wrote down the specs on them but can't find it, but I'll get the info.

Also, this is a repost from the main thread, but I took this video to show both sides of the LFA with the CEC wheels at SEMA (available in 720p):

I'll post a picture I took of the blonde booth babe with the LFA when I get a chance, probably tomorrow.

Typically cars are NOT allowed to sart up inside the Convention Hall... (during SEMA)
I wonder how they pulled this off...?!

The ones on the first page I wouldn't put them on my SC, I damn sure wouldn't put them on my supra, and I wouldn't even TAKE money to put them on an LFA.


THESE however:

Was he there just in the crowd?? Or Lexus brought Foust there for the LFA??

Looks like Lexus is now beginning to use Tanner Foust more for LFA public appearances.

I wonder if they are replacing Scott Pruett with Tanner Foust for public appearances.

I very much doubt they are replacing Scott Pruett .....

Claus Ettensberger and Tanner Foust are friends. I am sure he was just passing through his booth....

PLUS, Tanner goes every year. I was standing next to him back in SEMA 08' ...

Offset is altered by wheel spacers on all four wheels. I will post pics as soon as I upload the rest of my SEMA coverage.
