In English, connoisseur means “a person of informed and discriminating taste.” Thus, this is the brand for the adult automotive connoisseur who wants to dress up his car at the highest possible level.
No. 151C, the second in the lineup, offers the flowing visage of 15 spokes in a one-piece wheel. To make the most of the large diameter design, the spokes arch subtly from the outer flange and dip toward the center of the wheel, creating an image of aggressive action.
Yokohama wheels are renowned for the degree of fine detail that goes into them. For example, the centers are done one at a time on a three dimensional cutting machine.
And the all-aluminum center ornament and other items are finished to a very high degree. This attention to the tiniest detail gives these wheels their stunning personality.

As with a beautiful compound bow, the spokes dip toward the center. This stunning shape is the heart of Connoisseur No. 151C originality and design. Viewed from the angle you would look at them from if they were mounted on a car, you see a form with intense presence.
Looking directly at the wheel, you see the detail of slim, stunning spokes, and from the side,
they fuse into an attitude of dynamic action. The Connoisseur No. 151C is much more than just a finely designed wheel, it’s one that goes beyond the line into wheel art.

The three-dimensional cutting machine cuts the logo Connoisseur No. 151C 3mm deep.
The logo takes maximum advantage of the space between the nut holes, the center circle, and the ends of the spokes. This is possible only with precision cutting machine programming and meticulous and accurate wheel production, and takes a full 10 minutes of precision cutting to accomplish. This fully attests to the high quality of Connoisseur brand wheels.

The center ornament consists of a ring machined from aluminum, and an ornament of forged and milled aluminum. The ring and ornament are finished with light brown alumite,
which uses cobalt for color fastness and long-lasting beauty. The light blue in the milled out portions of the logo is done by hand, as you’d expect in a wheel that’s fit for a connoisseur.
