Default Silver Spoke Faces on OEM BBS?
Hi all,

I've only seen it in pictures so I was wondering... was this ever an option for USDM cars?

Thanks!

The gunmetal/polished wheels were standard on the limited edition Nieman Marcus ISF back in 2008. These wheels are available for order at your local Lexus parts counter but for a hefty price. In Canada, they get that wheel as standard issue.

US Spec ISF's got the all gunmetal 19" wheels only for 2008-2009.

Anyone can have this wheel finish done to blades & edge of their USDM IS-F wheels...

They just have to be taken to a reputable wheel finisher that will hand polish out those sections and re-clear the whole wheel...

I would guestimate no more than $400 (or less) for this process to be done to all 4 gunmetal wheels..

I believe in Japan they are standard and also an entirely polished wheel.

Looks ok, but I prefer the all gunmetal one.

Arrow First Look at Polished IS-F wheels.....
There was an owner here in the US that had his IS-F wheels Fully Polished out..
(not chromed)

They looked great, but he lost his F via flood damage..
He was also a CL member too...

Here are the pics I just found...







Enjoy

Wow that looks REALLY NICE!

Not a fan of the full polished look though.
