I definitely agree on the moar wider. I asked them if they were planning on doing a 9.5" wheel for a staggered setup but they said they had no plans whatsoever for that.

It's disappointing, cause I think its a cool look, but I wont buy em unless they are staggered. The ISx50 body demands it.

they do have a staggered setup for these rims, i asked the guy but he said they would arrive in like a couple weeks.

this was a month ago and i couldn't wait. plus i want the ability to rotate my tires.

well then they must have some miscommunication in the office because this is what they sent me:

Hello,

There isn’t an ETA on the staggered sets, sorry for the inconvenience.

Messagedo you plan on offering a staggered setup with a 9.5 inch rear wheel in the LFA style?

My wife just bought an 07 awd & I have been looking @ these wheels for some time. I bought the M5 replicas from them for my Acura RL & like it. Her 17" wheels & huge gap is killing me. I may pull the trigger on these wheels(non staggered) & get a mild drop. Any suggestions on a drop. Nothing too low. Will 235 or 245 fit w/o rubbing? Any more pics of these wheels on an IS? Thanks

why don't you buy H&R spring to close the gap? it will not rub.

These look pretty good! I was thinking about a set as well.

Do these use the standard OEM Toyota/Lexus mag-type lugs? Are these hubcentric or will hubcentric rings be required? Thanks!

Meh, the lines of the LFA pulls off the wheels better, but they're not bad for an OEM-look.
