Yes the LFA uses bolt type lug nut instead of the usual japanese lug nut. However if the bolt pattern is same then it should be able to fit on any car with the allowable offset. Not quite sure if it would work on IS-F but I'd imagine a set of these LFA wheels will be much more than a set of Volk Racing wheels if you'd ask me.

yup, i have stated the same before. lug bolts aren't something new, my m3 uses them, as long as bolt pattern the same and the lug size is the same, technically they might work

until you see the price of lfa wheels (and we aren't even talking about fitment yet)

Aren't these cars only sold in Europe and Japan? USA lease only right? That's weird because I think the US is where Lexus makes it's money and enthusiasts. Such a high price no Lexus enthusiast would ever be able to afford it, only Ferrari and Lambo owners who wouldn't appreciate it.

Yes, that is the misconception over the internet.

Lexus did start out by offering lease only in Canada and US to avoid people who flip cars for money, but later it got changed after request from buyers to a outright buying option with a no flip contract.

There are several Lexus owners who are waiting for their LFAs so it is not true that Lexus owners could not afford LFAs.

Wow I didn't know that thanks for clarifying. LFA is a badass car. I seen twice at SEMA '09 and '10 and it is in my opinion God's chariot.
