NEEZ forged Magnesium or Aluminum wheels

Sorry, but that photo shows a McLaren F1 LM that's wearing the standard F1 GTR wheel. It's 18" in diameter, whereas the wheel on the F1 road car I posted looks to be a 19" or possibly even larger. The spokes are also thinner with a different contour and the inset where the single lock nut goes is shallower. There's a better example of the GTR wheel on the black car below.

I've never seen this new wheel (on the silver car) on any other F1s, and this car is from Japan where a lot of the others you are posting also reside. My guess is that this wheel has been custom made or at least custom drilled to work on that F1 by a supplier like NEEZ in Japan. If you come up with any info in your future travels, I'd be very interested to know.

Here's a some links to other photos that show it with these wheels. Up until a few months ago, this car had only been seen wearing the standard F1 road car wheel.

I think it looks like one of them NEEZ wheels, the black one in the lowest right picture by the previous page. As for both orange and grey example above my post, they're OZ Racing wheels ( in black and silver respectively) and some F1GTRs are seen on Dymags. Dymags have fatter spokes than the OZs. NEEZs apparently have longest/slimmest 5 spokers..My hypothesis...
