I see the similarity but it is too propeller like.
I'm lookign for a similar style (IS-F) wheel too but that one just doesn't do it for me.

i agree I am not a big fan of chrome wheels either, I remember the IS-F wheels are metallic gray-ish color. If they have an exact replica, I'm sure people would buy it since the dealership is asking for ~$7200 per Rim set.

I also wonder if anyone know if these rims are Forged Aluminum just like the IS-F and F-Sport rims. Cuz that'd be awesome.

I personally like the rim. Definately NOT in chrome though. A gunmetal or silver but chrome just makes rims look heavy and very anti-performant (if thats a word ).

I think the centercaps made it ugly.

That's not the knock-off wheel on the car in the picture. Wake up, people.
