Thanks for putting the picture up...i really dig these IS-F BBS replica rims....it does look very close to the IS-F rims.

After checking out the pic, it doesn't look too flashy...is it because his is not chromed?

What's the price for this set of rims? Is it cheaper to get than the F-Sport 19" Rims? Plus, what size does it come in?

Will it fit on the ISX50 once you install the F-Sport 6 Piston Brakes upgrade?

Default F rim fitment on is350

Does anyone know what it takes to put on the f rims on a is350? i heard the rear fits but you need adapter for the front. What size adapters are needed and where would be the best place to get them.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff

Those are just as ugly as the IS-F wheels.

Default is-f rim

does anyone have a close up of the real is-f rim? I thought all the rims were two toned, gunmetal and polished metal?
thanks

Those rims on the car arn't the BBS-F clones. They are the actual IS-F rims, so dont' be fooled!! the IS-F rims comes in gunmetal type,and chrome.

FYI - There is no chrome on the IS-F wheels. It's a polished/gloss gunmetal color. Hope this helps.

This is something I found on Ebay. Supposely, all lexus dealerships also carry "Chrome" wheels also.

Aznboi, I've seen those too, but I think that company takes owners wheels and chromes them. If you read the description on some of the listing they ask for the same wheels in trade. I've never seen an IS-F with chrome wheels.
