I wish they would make an LFA style wheel for the IS-F. I would pay $1000 for it.

The LFA is such a beautiful car. The price tag just isn't right. I'd get a GTR instead.

My boy is on the waitlist for the Italia Spyder and IIRC it's 300K sticker (about 50K more than the coupe). Still with the 2012 GTR <100K it's still about the same as the LFA's price tag which is around $400K IIRC.
