Default 2011 IS F-Sport package rims available for other years?

I noticed that the 2011 IS F-Sport Package has some pretty dope rims.

Anyone know if they're available separately? I would love to get them for my 2006 IS250.

Sweet, thanks. I checked their site a few days ago and they didn't have it, so I guess they just updated it recently.

Or maybe I just missed it because I was looking at 06, not 11

N00b question here:

For my IS350 '10

What do I need to buy to make this work? Lug nuts? New tires? Spacers?

Suddenly $2500 rims become $3500 out the door...

Rims looks a bit like 06-08 stock rims. I don't think it's worth $2500.

I have the 06 stock rims in my garage. I'd have to say that they look a bit sportier and sleeker with the narrower spokes and the darker color.

I don't even know if new lugs are required since they should be the same as the stock.

I presume since these are staggered new tires will be in order...

The price is just $1800 for the set of 4 wheels. You can use your existing lug nuts as well as your tire pressure sensors. All can be swapped over to the new wheels. Use your existing tires too assuming of course you already have the 18" setup.

Take a look, they're slightly different:

2011


2006



The 2006's spokes are fatter and the color is more bland.

Thanks for the info, Darrel. Do you know the offset for these rims? Are they the same as the stock? What's the offset for those? Reason why I'm asking is because they're not as flush as I would like and I'm not sure if I need to get hub-centric spacers.
