From my findings the stock wheels are 24F / 28R, and using my home scale the whole package (stock wheel/tire/TPMS combo) is 49F / 56R.

Are the stockers really 22F/29R? 29lbs is pretty heavy for 1-piece forged BBS... My 3-piece weighs the same.

Cool, thx for the info Juanca. I guess they are relatively heavy.

I think you pulled if off nicely and kudos for staying in the 19" realm - I'm going for the same sizes you listed as well but on Falken Azenis 615 tires. Always been a Toyo fan but want to try these new tires.

The blue inner lip is unique and ties in nicely with the IS-F blue logo theme - did you plan that?

From the side profile it looks like you can drop the front more?

I didn't think the Azenis tires came in 19 inch sizes

Hey with these super lightweight rims, you have really reduced your rolling mass so can you feel a difference in the acceleration?

Hi Rick,
Yeah, you can feel a difference acceleration as well as braking. Much easier to accelerate and bring the car to a stop. I'm very happy with my decision with the Weds Sports...Darshana S...

I know this is a super old post but i had a question about these wheels. Love these wheels btw!! I heard you need hub rings for them to fit. Have you ever experienced any vibration from the wheel because of this. I had a lot of trouble with a set of wheels i had that needed hub rings on a past BMW. I know the bimmer uses wheel bolts instead of studs. I'm hoping studs support the hub ring better. thanks
