If you paid for V12 get them. Exchange your tires for what you originally wanted. The difference between the two is night and day, FK452 only belongs on cars that don't move, they're plain junk.

Im so annoyed with the reviews I have read on this site about them. I read all the reviews overall and they sound decent but not what I wanted. The only issue I have is the fact I ordered these wheels in May and they just got delivered today. I bought the car may 20th and I am tired of stockies already. My girl has a 08 IS250 too an Im tired of them being the same!

I am just going to give the wheels a try and see how they go. Reviews for life seemed decent and I like the way they look on the car. I drive 15 miles a day so im not really worried

correct me if i'm wrong but you should have installed the wheels first, then a spring installation, and THEN an alignment, no?

Well you cant put springs on with wheels on so no

I hate putting the wheel covers on the alignment machine on aftermarkets when I can avoid it so it really doesnt make too big a diff, if any
