They always come painted. He may have had something else like carbon on these before an took it off. Its obviously been modded.

Like everyone is saying becareful, Not sure how those wheels wood fit. Calibers are to big.

ISF wheel only fitted IS250 didn't clear the IS350 caliper to be correct on that note.

That is interesting. I had the gunmetal coloured ones that came on my 08 sport package and I could not get it to clear my caliper.

Maybe they're running spacers? The back half of the inside of those wheels are wider. There's like a reverse lip if you know what I mean

Only a butcher would do something like that to a 400+ hp car. I'm still scared of it.

Perfect for rotating IF all the wheels are 18x8.5

The side vents look unpainted. Would you guys assume that this was replaced and does it come unpainted from the factory? In addition, is that a factory front lip or an aftermarket piece?

Thanks..





Caveat Emptor!!! Better get a low price..
There are several reasons this car is at the Auction, as all cars there are..

I tried it twice in the past years, and will never do it again... Learned from experience...
