Nice! Are those Apollo concave or something like that? I remember seeing that in the Vendor section and thought they are reaaally nice looking, and for a really good price. Can't wait to see them on your IS.

yes they are the Apollo wheel. You know I keep saying this but the pictures I took really don't do justice to these wheels. really good price and great bunch of guys to. I will definitely post pics once they are on the car..

na it's cool. They aren't authentic but I guess you could say the difference is they are not processed as a forged wheel but they are light, they are good lookin and the price is very great for how they look and for their quality, so I myself have no complaints on these wheels, I just wish you guys can see these in person. cant wait to see how they feel on the car.

he's right they do look better inperson, i saw them myself and placed an order myself haha. i'll be getting mine in a week . and yea... i worked it out and i figured out it would be to hard to fit the 8.5 +20 in front.... 9.5 +20 rear is do-able but the fronts going to be tough =\ so i got +40 all around and am just going to spacer it.

they're awesome looking wheels though... thats why i got some too haha

and for the above poster, i believe rota grids only have 5 spokes. these got six

I believe that +20 is do able with alittle work not impossible. I plan on rolling fenders front and back, actually I already started to do that. Gonna run some 225/35/19 and 235/35/19. I saw a person running a flat black IS with TE's with a +22 all around so what's 2mm and he had no probems so if he can do it I think I can too plus there are others in here running more aggressive set ups than this if anything +20 is conservative now. I will post pics as soon as I get them on. Thanks for all compliments guys.

Good looking wheels, I'm a big fan of the TE look, i already went through 3 set for the IS already, you'll be able to fit the +20 all around without too much work, if you roll or shave the rear you might even be able to run a 245/35 in the rear.
