wheel options for 2007
#3
Sewell our vendor has some nice pics of the options...both standard and accessory wheels.
I'll answer your question though:
2007 Standard wheel is the revised 5-star wheel in a gunmetal polished look. You can buy them chrome on here.
The 2007 Pebble Beach Edition debuted a beautiful new wheel called the G-Spider, which comes in a staggered setup (rear is wider than front) or you can order same size all around if you have a AWD like the GS and IS counterparts that this wheel also fits.
Other accessory wheels are the Tourmalines (very common accessory wheel and popular) and newer the F Sport and ISP Mode are recent accessory adds for the IS models that also fit our lug patterns.
A very rare OEM find would be to find the 2008 Pebble Beach Wheels which are a six spoke wheel only featured once on the Pebble Beach Edition. I've seen before as an acessory wheel. If you really like it, send me a PM I can help you search for it. Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...item27bfa75cf2

I don't understand why all the oem wheels are so heavy, like 27-28 lbs each for the 18" ones.
For the performance oriented models, GS and IS, they should use lighter wheels. I changed out the stock wheels with 21 lbs lighter aftermarket ones and the improment is significant in term of traction, handling and high speed stability.

I wonder if the F-Sport or ISP modes are lighter? Actually I just answered my own question...
The ISP's are 26lbs and the F-Sport are a svelt 21lbs!!!! Just about the weight of a good sized pumpkin! With the seeds of course...LOL

F-sport wheels
I've been looking at the F-sport wheels but I can't judge how they would look on the silver sc430. They seem to a dark silver finish but not the gray graphite like the other F wheels so might look good. I also like the G-spyders but want 19" and lighter weight. Has anyone seen a picture of the F-sport on silver?

Ah rats! It was a white one I saw...maybe black. I can't remember! Too many cars. At any rate, here is a pearl white IS350C F-Sport Special Edition which has a nice silver glow to the pearl...it will give you a little idea:

As I always say, some guys like blondes and some like redheads.
Me, I'm with you. I saw one just last week and could not believe that a luxury car brand could produce/market such an ugly looking vehicle.
