I've transitioned into concave wheels now because every wheel I've had with a lip would have little issues (like a rock would end up denting my lip, or the finish would peel for some reason (probably because they held water), or the lips would bend. Yeah 19"s-22"s are pretty big, but we have a big body car I appreciate it bro

I had them roadforce balanced and with some good rubber on them they are excellent! I really like the multiple spokes too! Most of my wheels had the mesh appearance, and when I got the CV3's they were really simple and clean 5 spokes, but once my car got dirty, because of all the brake dust from our cars the wheels had a lot of brake dust caked on the inside of the barrels and it was super noticeable with the lack of spokes. The new wheels have more spokes so the wheel weights are hidden now, and the dust inside the barrels is really hidden now, so I am super excited!

Hey dude.
How about switching your pads to Hawk ceramics?
Just been told they are now offering rear pads to match the fronts!
Considerably less brake dust than the OEM pads.
I have them on the fronts, but not the rears yet.
Worth a try to help keep those new rims looking sweet!

I was looking to get a set for my IS350 back in the days, they do look nice...but..
This is strictly my personal opinion, I think they don't quite suit the IS-F.
They look more like VIP wheels, where they seem more at home on an IS250 or 350 with airbags slammed to the ground.
The IS-F is a track oriented performance tool, so lightweight forged wheels seem to suit it better instead of large 20+ inchers.
Anyways, that's just my opinion. Then again to me there aren't many aftermarket wheels that go well with the IS-F, the factory did a pretty bang on job with their stock wheel designs.

Use this chart for reference http://www.caranddriver.com/features...d-tires-tested
The chart shows the difference between an 18" and 19" wheel on a VW Golf, weighing in at 3LBS difference per wheel and tire, and 0-60 time doesn't change, 60-0 time doesn't change, standing 1/4 doesn't change, and 0-100 gets .1 seconds slower with the bigger wheels. Again almost no change besides 0-100 speed being .1 second slower, its so marginal that it doesn't even matter.

I think these wheels make the car look more high end. When I see the Volks and some of the Rays wheels on the ISF it just makes the car look more like a cheaper tuner car to me. Not feeling the JDM wheels I have seen unless its a classy mesh style . I love the Vossen wheels look ( I had 2 sets of 22's on my LS460. Concave and lipped). If I bought wheels today I would most likely rock the same wheels Redline in rolling on. Just classy looking , modern styling with the concave design, and the right size. Those wheels fill up the fender SOOO much better then a set of oem stocks without spacers . Redline you nailed it, man .
