Default New wheels coming for my 2009 IS-F

The stock 09 ISF wheels (pic below) are very nice, but always preferred the BBS style. I found a great deal online and should have them in a few days. Will post again when installed. Cheers

BBS not only designed the various oem F wheels, they manufactured 'em as well.

Looking forward to pics of your car once the new rims are installed.

I wish I shared the same opinion. I got plans to swap out my 2011 stock rims with something else. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the 2011 rims though which is why I haven't upgraded yet lol.

I personally like your first picture better but opinions are like *******s right?

^^^^I am also not a fan of "busy" looking wheels.

No one noticed that in the original pict the OPs wheels are mounted backwards

I sold my 2008 wheels to an IS350 owner with an add on Craigslist.

Think he's in Canada Lou and they have the Neiman Marcus blades on his F. I've seen plenty of Canadian Fs with those wheels.

^^yes they're standard for us up here but his are still mounted backwards.

I prefer the 08/09 wheels personally unless we're talking 2012+.

I think each iteration is an improvement. I did not like cleaning the 2010/11 wheels though, especially with the brake dust from the stock brembo pads.
