I am really close to ordering these rims, for my car of the exact same color, I wanted to know what the good people of CL had to say.

Those are the rims I want for my IS. If I'm not mistaken, those are the Momo FXL. Keep us updated when you get them. I'm interested to know what offests and sizes you went with.

Yup they are the Momo FXL. What type of pricing are you getting for the set with tires?

I like those rims alot......just a suggestion, Momos are pretty pricey (i think) Have you looked at the Donz Columbos??? Probably get them for $1500 bucks and they look a lot like those.

I can't seem to find anyone that will sell the wheels for less than 1k a piece. I know the Momos are very pricey, but the qualitiy is great and a 20x10 FXL weighs in at about 26lbs. I'm still trying to get a hold of my contact.

r6z9r - where did you get the pricing from? You may have been getting a quote on the FXL2 wheels. They are less expensive, a little heavier (29lbs for a 19x9.5), the center is cast instead of forged, and the lip is stainless instead of chromed.

You are right the qoute is for FXL2, the forged wheels are a bit too pricey for me although much better. Thanks for checking on some pricing.

I was thinking at first the quote you got was for the FXL 3 piece! But yeah, the FXL2s look just as good and I don't think anyone would be able to tell the diff. Let me know what offests and sizes you go with.
