I was looking into getting those same wheels for awhile, but when I remembered why I bought my F in the first place (performance) I stayed away from a 20" wheel. I went with a wheel that would still compliment the performance of the car and at the same time looks good (IMO) and doesn't detract from what Lexus had in mind when they built the car. My suggestion is, if you are still on the fence, to keep looking and not settle for a bigger heavier wheel only because it looks good. Wait till you find the whole package of looks, performance, and and suitable price range for you. Just my 2 pennies.

Price on the Rohana RC10 is $1,600 shipped or there abouts.
I checked these BC Forged Wheels out and saw a few wheels I liked as much as the Rohana RC10...however, I could not find any pricing, offset or weight information??? They appear to be fully customized...so I assume I need to call and find out? Like I said I liked quite a few of them but liked these two the best (on the second one, I would have them do it entirely in Black)

Contact FIGS here on CL for more info. He was the one who was working on group buys for BC Forged wheels a while back. It will definitely be less expensive than $1600 per wheel. Yes, each BC forged wheel is made custom. They list the available wheel widths, and you can have any offset that works within the buildable range of the specific wheel style.

Maybe I can provide some assistance
We are doing a ISF on BC Coilovers and BC Forged HB series wheels.
the ISF has potential with the proper fitment and offset wheels.

Dude, great reply...I think I was trying to convince myself on the RC10 but I really (like you) want to retain the performance aspects of the car...heck why did I do Sikky headers and Joe Z Exhaust/intake just to give some of that horsepower back because of heavy wheels...right? Here is another wheel I had been considering (suggested by Gymkata)...Wedssport SA60M...they are 19in (pic is an 18in version) and lighter than stock...I just worry about rubbing due to +38 offsets on both front and back???

That SA60M is sik! LOL, I think we have the same taste in wheels because that was the 2nd wheel I looked at that I loved and ALMOST bought a set!! The only reason I didn't buy those was because one of my friends on here with an F already had them lol, and I didn't want the same wheels as him! But many guys on here have the Weds and love them... I think you're on the right path now!!

Yeah, silly like the guy complaining about losing to what he thought was a slower car because he was running heavy 20" wheels.

I've succeeded in removing close to 65lbs of rotational mass, and the car is much more responsive and fun to drive. Eventually, the weight certainly does add up, especially on a car this heavy to begin with. Considering what people pay and do for power, it only makes sense to pay attention to how you use it.
