After much looking and reading all wheel & tire post, I decided on the Five Axis R5:F wheels. Specs are silver, 19x8.5 30mm front, 19x9.5 35mm rear, Continental Extreme Contact DW 235x35x19 front and 255x35x19 rear. My 2011 IS 350 F-Sport came with F-Sport springs, shocks, and sway bars front and rear. Supposedly 1" lower than standard height. Love the look, no rubbing, no fender mods required, other than heat gun used on front wheel liners. Great setup for a great look. Purchased wheels and tires from wheelstudio.com, $2299 price included wheels, tires, TMPS sensors, lug caps, and quick shipping. Highly recommend. I've had the wheels on for one week, driven over three days and about seventy miles, NO TMPS warning as yet (no coding). TMPS sensors are Toyota, any chance my car doesn't recognise a change?

^^ Looking Good on the R5:F wheels !!! 
If your main wheels and tires are close to your car, the system picks those up before you leave each day.
I think the range is when you go past 15-20 miles before you get a light.
You will have to have the 2nd set of sensor id's added into your Lexus' TPMS monitoring system, by a Lexus dealership.
As soon as you go on a further one way trip, the light will go on for sure.
And it will reset when you get back home..
Congrats..

Thanks for the information Joe. That's a great observation. My old wheels and tires are stacked up in the garage and that must be what's happening. My drive to work each day is about twenty miles round trip. I plan to move the wheels today and we'll see what happens. It's not a coincidence that my wheel and tire configuration is almost identical to yours. The Five Axis R5-F is the best looking wheel to me that I found.

I didn't see anyone have 18' 5axis s5's. Do you have to upgrade your tires to 19' inch to be able to put the wheels on. Right now I have hankook v12 f 225/40/18 and r 255/40/18. Would I be able to put 18x8.5 5axis s5 wheels?
That's a negative. You gotta run 19" tires to run 19" wheels.
