True, but the F-car is a mid engine, so not a whole lot of weight up front either. Good point on the steering weight though. How much negative effect did the wheel size have on "routine street" performance? I'll likely keep the stock wheels, but with sticky tires, for track, so these would just be for looks on the street. I just don't want to totally kill the feel of the car during daily driving.

The yellow car in the background is my brother's toyota MR2 Turbo with a body kit to look like a Ferrari F355.

This is the modena and the MR-2 we are talking about:

If people can't replace the center caps on there the could always get a small piece of 3m carbon fibre vinyl

All four wheels are the same.. so mounted on different sides any inconsistencies will be opposite on the other side.

Well the concept frs has wheels on them that mirrors each side. Shouldn't their production wheels be the same too?

Not the biggest fan of wheels that are opposite left to right... if you catch my drift.
Concur. Caught your drift.

Is it me or is there something subtlety different from the concept rims and the fiveaxis rims, besides the red cap.

The metal finish is totally different.

On the concept the finish was shiny and the S7F have a '' mat '' finish.

Do you think it would be possible to run a 19x8 all the way around with a 235/35 tire?

It depend the offset your wheels will have. 19x8 with the good offset I see no problem.

235/35-19 is 3.4% bigger in diameter compare to the stock tires...

It is ok but not the best.
