Is Vossen that good of a wheel? (aren't they made in china?) How about some Japanese Tuner wheels on the 3IS? Work/Volk/Weds/etc.. haven't been in the game since i've modded my prelude...

They look like 20s? Really sharp looking wheels.

Can you get an offset that will tuck the rear wheels like the front wheels on this car? It looks like if he hits a pothole it may bend the quarter panel on this one.

Dunno those are wheels you find on civics and scions. Maybe people will put those on a Lexus at some point. I have been out of the Lexus game since 2004. So dunno.

There is a few other forum members on here with different brand wheels, Forgestar, Work, Rays, etc.

My friend Juvi2203 has Work Wheels on his 3IS...and Vossen does use factories over seas for their current wheel line up, I believe Taiwan and Thailand. I know their Vossen Precision Series forged wheels will be made here in the states at their Miami HQ.

I personally like the aggressive fit, I am running a rear spacer is why the rim pokes out. If I had just used the 20x10.5 e45 without the spacer, it would still be a little aggressive in the rear but not as much as mine.

Work, Volk Racing are some dope JDM wheels, im sure as more people start modding the 3IS we will see a large variety of wheels and setups.

Rasta,
Does Vossen have an offset that can tuck in the rear wheel so it wont hit the rear quarter? Maybe a 9.5 width?

running an aggressive setup like I did does require fender mods, my fronts are rolled, the rears I plan to pull a little (maybe later today) and the car is obviously lowered and running negative camber.

currently no 20x9.5 available. I believe Vossen may be working on some fitments made specifically for the 3IS.
