Wheels on the Prototype

Does anyone else not like the little carbon stars on the prototype's wheels?
I think they look cheap and... well just stupid.

From seeing all the chops in the photoshop threads, the car looks better with almost any other kind of wheel IMHO.

Carbon is awesome. The design is stupid. Carbon won't make it to the showroom. The design might. Enjoy your plastic ninja stars!

I'm for sure going aftermarket too. Pretty much never had a car run on stock wheels which are usually pretty bland and a bit too small. Of course if Toyota came out with similar wheels on the production version, I'd rock em

LM's would look awesome btw. They pretty much do on any car

Hell, I might have both Meisters and LMs waiting on this thing. Who knows.

I'll be mix-matching. Gotta keep a tradition going, even if it is a new car.

What if they offer the carbon as an option or accesory?

SSR Comps, something BBS, or if I'm ballin', then TEs. But I also like Work Emotions and Enkei RPF-1s.

Ah, I love figuring this stuff out.

Those prototype wheels are not that bad. They could give me steelies though since I ditch them for aftermarket anyways. Enkei rpf1s for sure.
