    sure. even more reason why 1 or 2 more pounds per wheel would impact performace and balance. the LFA is such a technically picky car. one pound here or one pound there could cause it not to act like lexus intended.

    Lol, if I get one, when I die, it will be at 180mph, in a $500,000 ball of flames. But if you still want it after that, sure.

    Why limit yourself to 180mph when the top speed is 202mph? Go hard or go home...LOL.

    And wheels are unsprung weight I believe, which is suppost to have more of an impact on performance. Something like that... I just know losing 10lbs from wheels has a much better effect on the car than 10lbs from a hood.

    Looks much better in that color. Sets it off very nicely.

    The splits look much better on it but I like the 5 spokes better on other cars. I can say they color on that LFA doesn't do it justice.

    These cars are sexy as hell. Although, I'll always hold a prejudice against them because Lexus used it in a commercial like it's a car that's fairly accessible, and then they slapped a 375k price tag in it. McLaren and Veyron might as well start advertising during commercial breaks of Judge Judy.
