Most of the wheels above are standard! Guess you don't like the Porsche wheels? I like them as its different.
Yeah I was referring to the NSX and 911 to be fair (and the Bentley, although they may possibly be OEM as well!). Last week we had a McLaren in Tokyo with god-awful wheels too. Leftfootwonder said:

NSX wheels are option-fit BBS*. Yes they're a bit 90s, but they do have a very solid place in the Jap scene, and are lighter than the standard-fit ones.

They are BBS LMs, so not Type S wheels.* Unless that's a Type-S, in which case they're standard-fit, but the black roof suggests not.
The LM is an iconic wheel, on many race cars. No issues with the wheel, but maybe the fitment isn't flattering for the NSX in this case. Being a split rim, they are also going to look an inch smaller than they are.

It's a very different beast to a Tesla. Plus there's hardly any space inside, and the boot is tiny. And they're not known for their reliability - I'm talking about the original one here; I don't know much about the 'revivial'.
As I said, for a while I loved them but one day I looked at it and thought "That looks like I drew it when I was 8."
And that's why I loves them!! As I said, for a while I loved them but one day I looked at it and thought "That looks like I drew it when I was 8."
