The other bonus is that you can reuse your stock tires in most cases too.

That said, the forged BBS wheels that come with the car are great. I would not swap them out for a downgrade in wheel quality, which is why it was pretty much Volk or nothing for me.

This was one of the harder choices for me. There are some great wheel options out there, and it was hard to find something that would replace the BBS' that came with the F. I even was in talks to have custom forged wheels produced, but in the end I went with Volk Racing. Aside from looking at wheels and designs, the biggest part of choosing wheels is making sure they fit above all else.

Got my set of Advan RG-D's for 2800. 19x9's and 19x10's. Although I got it from a guy that works at a wheel/tire store, I'm sure you can find the same deals elsewhere

That should fit without much issue. What about the fronts?

Those specs will be fine but I wouldn't run anything taller than a 30 series tire up front if you are lowered.

there are these for sale in the wheels/tires classified section:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...helin-pss.html

I'd hit him up just out of interest and see if he'll change his mind on shipping.

I've seen these in person, and they're as advertised. I would've snatched these up if I had the funds.

Your factory wheels are 1500+ a piece, if you cant afford to at least be on pair with them I cant see why you would want to take them off. BBS, Strasse Forged, Volk, ADV1, Advans, Ray's, HRE ect... Cheap rims are dangerous and dont meet the standards of many countries DOT laws for a reason.

IMO one of the best wheels you can get on a budget with specs reasonable for the ISF is the WedsSport SA60M. I think it is a great looking wheel. A quick search showed that modbargains will sell a set of 19x8.5 +38 fronts and 19x9.5 +48 rears for $2710. They are good quality, lighter than the stock wheels and 1/2 inch wider.

if you go with 20' wheels route, i don' t think you can find a nice and lightweight wheels that's under 3k unless it's a used ones. You will regret if picking some cheap and heavy 20' wheels for the F. Good luck bro!
