Default New Wheels - Vossen LC103

I ordered some Vossen LC103’s a few months ago and just got them on the car. Not the usual look for F-Types but I love this style of wheel. The colour is Brickell Bronze, matches the leather quite well.

Looks are subjective. If you like them, that’s all that matters. Enjoy!

But more importantly, how are you finding ride and handling? I thought forged rims were a huge improvement, like a different car.

I’m all for quirky wheels but these are a bit much, and the color only makes it more potent.

100% with you on this. As much as I don't like these wheels, who cares what other people think, it's your car, do to it what you will.

FWIW, I have only changed the OEM wheels on one car I owned and that was on my old Nissan 200SX, and I bought the wheels I wanted, not the ones I thought other people would approve of. That said, they were Nismo LM GT4 in bronze, and are still just about my favourite wheel design in the world.

Absolutely still have the originals with the Pirelli’s. Plug and play now.

Much like your experience and certainly improved. The Vossen folks custom machine the rims for the specific vehicle, and work with you on what stance you want, so the car is more planted now.

Not everything works out as we intend them to, but you had the guts to go for it. Good for you!

If you tire of the current color, you can change it. Maybe a medium gray metallic?

Btw, how do you like your Yokohama Advan tires? I've had a set on for a couple of years and really like them.

Yup. IMO these tires are perfect for spirited driving. I have them on two of my fun cars and wouldn’t swap for anything else. They wear very well and have excellent dry and wet grip. Cost effective as well - when compared to the usual suspects.

It’s a tribute to the Lamborghini Countach

Pretty sure what was meant by that, but… exactly!
