They look so sick! I love them. I have the same ones in black. Have you noticed a small clicking at low speeds? Ive switched back to my stock wheels a couple times and its only happening with those wheels.

^^^ I used to have the same wheels and for a full year I didn't experience any noise at all. I'd check the fasteners on your wheels; talk to Janoy at ISS, he can point you in a better direction.

Good choice on wheels...anxious to see the new finish.

I highly recommend putting the Tein springs in the front to lower it a bit to match the back. I just did it over the weekend and the ride height looks absolutely perfect now.

What size tires?
What size offsets front and rear?
Any rubbing?
I'm assuming you had to do some fender work even at stock height

Yes that is stock height. I was surprised how well it looks. I am debating on only lowering the front to match the back height.

I do not know the offsets of the wheels. Just told ISSForged the fitment I was looking for.

Apparently when lots of pictures are posted reading is thrown out the window.

There is no rubbing at stock height in the front or the rear. I have since lowered the front to match the rear height with the stock wheels on while waiting to receive my wheels back with the new finish. If I want to go lower in the rear I will have to get the fenders rolled for sure. However since I already have one car that is slammed with only 3in between the ground and subframe I won't be lowering this much. I want to be able to drive this without worrying much about the road conditions.

When you didn't lower the front yet. Did you have to do any fender work what so ever? Like heat up/melt the tab on the front fender liner?
I'm guessing IS-f front fenders are wider then regular IS's?
Did ISS ever tell ya the offset sizes by chance?

No I never had to do anything to the front fenders. I do not have the specs of the wheel either though. I am probably going to call ISS to find out soon though because I am thinking I want to make the fronts a little wide so I might look into increasing the front lip size by half an inch.
