No, not rice at all, very understated, I like that subtle look.

it looks like the brakes have been captured by head hunters and shrunken down 75%.

I bet the rotating mass alone lost them a good 25HP at the wheels

I like the telescoping roof "wing", but not sure how much down force it will generate... I guess we will have to wait until they reveal the secret weapon undereath it concealed by the curtain.

Those are some big rims. I'm sure that all of us have seen something like that on the streets. That look reminds me of the how wheels and matchbox models that I still collect (mostly the semi-trucks). Mainly because the rims on those little cars looked so cool. Well I guess that bigger is better.... Heh, heh... that's what she said...

You nailed it. 26" is correct. I do not recall the tire size. While I was looking someone stated they were Jessie James wheels, the only wheels available in that size.

You see this crap all over L.A. It cracks me up that people buy these types of vehicles for comfort and luxury and then have to put the bling wheels on to make it ride like crap.
