For what it's worth....

"All 3 OEM - BBS wheel designs will get the same tire specs...

Front 19x9 with a 255/35

Rear 19x10 with a 275/35

I expect the front wheel to have an approx. 45+ Offset and Rear to have an approx. 50+ Offset."

Hopefully that's the rear caliper pictured? The current front monobloc calipers on my '06 350 look better/beefier.

No sir... That is the indeed the Front Caliper & Rotor...

These are larger than the IS F, which is larger then a 350 caliper for sure..

The IS F caliper also only has one bridge bolt. And uses drilled rotors.

lot of excess metal on the 350 brakes. ISF/RCF front brakes are also 6 piston vs 4 piston on the 350

^Those are definitely my favorite wheels too. They look a little basic, and I wish there was more detail to them, but the shape is definitely better than the other two.
