Another rumor that began circulating after the Tokyo Auto Salon has also been confirmed: aftermarket wheels are out. Supposedly, all the GT-Rs on display at TAS had to be driven in on the stock rollers, jacked up and then fitted with the tuner's chosen wheels. Due to a sensor mounted on the valve stem, if the GT-R is driven with aftermarket rims, an error code is thrown on the dash. And although MINE'S has fitted a custom exhaust to their shop car, they've found that any modification to the intake system causes the ECU to go haywire.

I guess it's not a big deal if all you get is an error code. That's like our Gs and the after market wheels. But the intake causing ECU problems seems a bit more serious.

The white one looks nice.
It's hard to believe those are 22s because they don't look that big.

Its funny reading the responses on here compared to those on My350Z on these same images. A lot of the Z guys really hate the white car. Both are definitely hot to me.
I wonder why the Z guys have such a different opinion on the GT-R's than us. I think both the white & grey GT-R are absolutely sexy.
I'm partial to non-bling too, especially on G's & Z's. And I know chrome is considered bling, but I have always like the look of chrome on white.
As a matter of fact, there a guy in Hawaii who's on these boards, and he has an IP with chrome 20" DPE's and it looks cleeeeean.
So despite it being bling, I think the chrome wheels really set off the white GT-R nicely.
