Rim confusion
I'm a little confused on Lexus' current F-sport rims.
The ISF has new rims as can be seen on the website. However, it seems like you can only get those rims by actually buying an ISF... the F-sport rims only seem to offer last years ISF rims. Is this true?

F sport rims are not the same as the 08-09 model wheels of the ISF.
The Fsports are like 2grand while the older model ISF wheels are 6grand. someone please correct me if i am wrong.
also i do not believe you can separatly buy the newer ISF wheels

hmm, u sure bout that? it doesn't make sense that the f-sport rims are different than the isf rims when the specs and looks are identical.
cost difference could simply be that when upgrading to f-sport rims, you get credit for the rims you have. otherwise, how else could you justify the cost? it also wouldn't make sense from a factory perspective to have 2 sets of rims b/c of increased costs incurred, especially if they are virtually identical.
anyway, speculations aside, is there any solid info about whether the 2010 isf wheels are available separately?

The F-Sport rims are still forged aluminium, last I checked, which is high quality.

i see, i guess i was fairly confused about all this!
so my next question is whether it is possible to get aftermarket rims that look somewhat like the 2010 ISF rims. I tried searching myself but turned up nothing close.

thanks for the info!
don't know whether anyone else can confirm or deny, but i just spoke to my dealer and he feels that it is possible to get the new 2010 ISF wheels for an IS 350... but I haven't gotten a 100% yes on it yet.
