Hello all. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a set of IS-F rims for a pretty good price. Think I should jump on the deal or wait until I can something different? Thanks!

Can't really give you much of an opinion when you didn't state exactly how good that deal is? Condition? Tires? etc etc

Personally, I don't like them. Here is a club Lexus post of an is300 with is-f wheels: https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/da...eels_pshop.jpg

eh...they are okay. If someone is gonna spend more than $500 on rims I don't see why they wouldnt put down a few more bills and get some better wheels than factory made wheels. I always scratch my head when I see people spending all that money on g37 wheels, genesis track wheels, 370z wheels for their 2IS and so on. Theres alot of replica wheels that don't cost that much more. I would buy these for winter wheels. I've been thinkin about getting my hands on a set of LFA replicas on ebay that alot of members have for winter. But I wouldnt pay more than $500 for those either.

I think they look nice on the IS350 not the IS300.

For a good price I'd jump on them. They're great looking stock wheels. Ask the isf guys.

I'd have sworn IS-F wheels won't clear the brakes on the IS350 without spacers, so you might wanna be aware of that.

i'd buy factory oem wheels over replica wheels, so much so that i wouldn't spend a dime on replica wheels. period.

it's called "to each his own".

correct. it's somewhere in the 2is section. i think joe z did the fitment and found out is-f wheels don't fit the is350 without calipers.

I like/prefer factory OEM wheels over aftermarket. I think aftermarket wheels look tacky in most cases and even when they dont i hate the fact that the wheels have a different logo on the center cap.

What about the Is250?

I think they fit fine on the 250 since the brakes are smaller

I'd rock them over knock off wheels anyday. Can't go wrong with OEM wheels. You can always sell them for what you paid for them if you keep them nice!

Pretty sure a 5mm spacer is needed to use em.

If its a decent price and you like em... then you should be asking yourself why you haven't bought them yet. I myself entertained the idea of buyin some but I wanted a lip at that time so I passed.

I found JoeZ's thread:

In a nutshell, to work on an IS350 you need a 5mm spacer, on an IS250 fits fine. Now IMHO, get the ISF wheels. They are an OEM quality wheels built by a quality wheel manufacturer, BBS. They are also great looking. To the OP, if you decide on them, before you seal the deal make sure they are a complete set, and are staggered. The ISF wheel is also directional if from an '08 or an '09, and each wheel for each corner is different from one another and is corner specific.
