I think the LFA inspired 5 spoke looks better.

I can not say if they would fit, but you need to make sure to note that you're going up in wheel diameter. Which would mean that your speedo will be off. So you would either need to be ok with that, or will need to get your ECU flashed for the different diameter.

I'm getting a set of the ISF Blade rims (with the chrome parts, Neiman Marcus edition) in less than a month and will post pics of it on the 3Is... I'm also purchasing 15mm H&R Spacers so the brakes won't scrape against the spokes

a member tried it on their 2IS and it fits and looks fine, you'll just need 10-15 mm spacers for the front wheels to clear the calipers.

i wanted try this as well, until i read that the IS-F wheels were directional. I want to stay away from that route so i can rotate my tires. its bad enough i currently have staggered wheels and directional tires--can't use symmetric/asymmetric tires for rotating. even if i got the sym/asym tires on the IS-F wheels, you still can't rotate them bc the wheels have to go forward in a certain direction, total bummer.
