Default Rim Swap

Is it possible to swap out the stock IS 18 inch rims for a set of ISP mode 18 inch rims & what would the extra cash needed be?

Yes you can do this....search my friend.

You can find them here in the classifieds, on Ebay, or at the dealer. I would check in that order for $$$.

If you do not plan on keeping the OEM rims for winter tires, I would sell them either on CL or Ebay. I sold my OEM rims in less than a week and had about 20 interested people when I posted them on both Craig's List and CL. They were in mint condition and most OEM rims (non-IS-F lol) go for $500+ and $18+ for the center caps.

I dont need any winter tires in this area, Im just tired of having the same rims as every other Lexus out there =( & I dont want aftermarket rims. Are there any pix with our IS with the ISP wheels on it? 500 isnt much though I saw over on lexus website both the GSpiders & ISP mode sell for 1250 w/o tires.

a few members have them on their car. I would use our vendor Carson or Sewell and get the discount and help out our community! Will save you some money also. Luis at Carson has helped me and they are great to deal with!!

I dont think so...I am not aware of this??

I think you are better to sell the OEM rims you have now on here or Ebay. The dealer wont give you anyting for them.

This all depends on the dealer and condition. I sold rims back to a dealer twice just to off-load them. With my 2gen, my dealer was not interested despite the fact that the rims were mint. I would not hesitate to ask. With the rash of pot-holes up in the midwest this past winter, there was a backorder of many Lexus wheels and the demand went way up. You should be able to sell them with no problem.

Here is mine. I do agree that they look better in person then on pics. I didn't get a chance to clean them up, but they aren't too bad.

Is it possible to put ISP mode or G-Spyder wheels on an is250 AWD?
These are staggered right, so I believe you cannot, but I'd be happy to hear that I am wrong.
