Default GS-F wheels on an RC-F?

Came across this pic on FB. I think I'm looking at an RC-F with GS-F wheels, but not sure?
If so, I've got to say I really like how they look!

Reminds me of this video where they put the GSF wheels on a 2020+ RCF. I personally like the 3D effect of the 20-spoke hand polished RCF wheels.

Went out of my way to buy the 20s when I got my RC-F, so they are my favs.
But I like that deep center area on the GS-F wheels, Very cool look!

He probably means the 20 spoke RCF wheels.

You're right, all OEM RC F as well as GS F wheels are 19's.

19" 20 spokes, yup.
My car had the 7 spokes when I bought it and I was lucky enough to find someone local who had a set of 20 spokes he had swapped out for aftermarkets.

I bought the TVD/carbon package originally mainly because I wanted the 20 split spoke wheels. In Canada, there were only two trim levels and the standard trim came with the 10 spoke and the optional Carbon/TVD came with 20 spoke ones. The benefits of the carbon roof and TVD were more of a discovery later on after I purchased and drove the car etc.

I still prefer the style of the base RCF split 7 spoke gunmetal wheels......im a simple guy who prefers simple designs. Especially coming from having 3 piece Avant guards on my G37. Cleaning them was a ****.

Yes cleaning the 20 spokes is quite a chore!

When I originally bought my RC F the first thing on my to-do list was to replace the 7 spokes with the 20 spokes, however, after having it for a few months, they have grown on me tremendously. When they are clean they look incredible on the car. When I think of the RC F I always have an image in my head of one with the 20 spoke wheels, but I have a new appreciation for the 7 spoke wheels. The gunmetal finish is really something special when you can keep the ******* brake dust off it.

Yeah, 20 spokes are a pain to clean (and keep them cleaning) because you have two split spokes on each in grey and silver angled differently so you need to clean each separately. They get dirty very quickly with all of the brake dust as well.

I think i would have given the 7 spokes a chance as well, but the previous owner had them painted black and I never liked them with my white car. But when I see the stock gun metal 7s in picture, I do like them.
