There are some great aftermarket wheels for a little more
I completely agree! However, I'm going for a clean OEM look. I was set on the LFA rep's until I found these.

Have you seen the Genesis track wheels? They look pretty nice on the 2IS!

I have, and at one point was considering them; however, they won't clear the 350's brakes without a 5mm spacer. I'm not big on spacers - part of the reason why I'm set on the is-f rep's 35 mm offset. They do look pretty sick though.

Be the guinea pig and get the IS-F replicas I feel like they will be the same quality as the LFA reps. If you do, let us know and post pics!

LOL - they probably are of similar quality, but I just called and found out that the estimated weight is 29 lbs per rim!!!!! On the other side of things, the LFA reps are said to weigh 23 lbs each - much better considering my 17's are 24 lbs each!

The stock 10-spoke original IS-F BBS wheels are 24lbs front, 28lbs rear. (So I've heard, I haven't weighed them).

One of our forum members here, kelzzz confirmed that he had them. He said he only bought them as temp wheels as his 20" wheels were getting fixed. He rode on them for 3 months and said they were great and looked good too. Unfortunately he doesn't have any pics, and he sold them last month

Jeff
The rear is about 26-28 when I used a scale.

I'm not too keen on replica wheels if they are made of cast alloy compared to a forged alloy.

Default replica rims
i have them, they look very nice. offset is too much thou and they weigh alot more then their forged counterparts but other than that they look great!

Well they look exactly like the ones on Sewell. I just had to buy the center caps from them and they look perfect. But since the offset is a 35 they used to rub sometimes so I just put the stock springs back on
