Lightbulb New Rays / Volk Wheel at SEMA 2012, thoughts on the IS-F?

Every year you see a lot of weird stuff at SEMA but this was one new product that really caught my eye, I got so excited I forgot to write down the model number of this wheel......

Thanks!

I think the 19" application will work for the 5x114.3:

19x9.5 or 19x10 , +20 through +45 range

I'm a huge fan of the one on the left. I might have to look into ordering a set of those for the track.

Two nice choices. I'm also curious as to how'd they look on an IS F. 2013 should be a good year for new wheel designs by some really good manufacturers.

I think both of them look sweet, but I do like the bling of the right side.

Yea I have them on order but volk is taking forever to build the godamn fronts which is 19x8.5 +35, which are apparently "rare"


At the point where I'm talking to my dealer to cancel the volks and to find some other wheels

The one on the right looks really good. The thiner (although subtle) design along with the more pronounced V sections really sets off the brake/rotors for a nice overall performance look.
