That's actually why I like the wheel. But, I'm not sure if it will really look like that, since it's just a rendering.

Either way, Janoy told me that the wheel will be tested before being sent out to ensure that it's safe

Thanks for the kind words Mike!

Mesh 8 style wheels FTW!!!! These are going to give your IS-C a very nice sporty look. Gotta love the mesh design! Sporty look summed up!

Looking forward to seeing them on your car!

Can't wait to see the final product. I stopped by ISS forged the other week, I'd love to rock a set but after seeing all the wheels in person.

^^ Wow, these look great! They look a lot more 'open' then I thought they would! And is that a black inner barrel I see? Very nice bro! Congrats.

You'll love em' all the more once they are on the car. But be careful not to get photo crazy like I did, lol...

Great all around man!

Mesh 8 Style wheels FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man. Yeah I'll probably only do a few shots once I get them on.....hopefully the somewhat warm weather will continue for a few more weeks

Also, yes I think they do have a black inner barrel. You've got a good eye

I wasn't expecting the black barrel at all until ISS posted their new group buy last night and it mentioned it. But that's a good thing, cause it was one less thing to decide on

Black inner barrels keep the clean look longer, you'll enjoy

Thumbs up on being a CL exclusive (first to have your very own custom FM-8). I think your the first cat to have these right? Anyway, enjoy bro. You'll love em' all the more so when they are on the car.

+1 on what djkhanvic said earlier. GET COILOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUST US!!!!

Well, I'm usually pretty good at keeping inner barrels clean, but that's ok. I think the black will give it a more finished look. Plus, with the lip sizes, I don't think seeing the inside of the wheel for depth will be as important as perhaps on a flat-faced rim

Thanks man. Yes, AFAIK these were the first FM-8's produced by ISS.

I know I know. But in all honesty I'm still heavily leaning toward the f-sports. While there are some drawbacks to the f-sports, a lowering spring sold by lexus, designed and engineered specifically for the 350 vert, and warranted for my new car warranty (if I just have dealer install them) are HUGE pro's.

But, I'm not going to do anything until I see them in person on a vert and evaluate the ride height and quality.

Neither can I....they look INCREDIBLE. Unfortunately, pics just don't do them justice. The machining and some other details aren't very photogenic.

But, I should have some pics in a few days

Thanks again for all of your help.
