Found someone who appears to be selling them is Australia, though the specs are slightly different:

Edit: Actually i think that is another replica. There is another seller from Australia, and this one states 19x8 +45

yea i bought the originals because they were forged BBS so I knew they were quality and light weight. Also on the originals you have to get a set LR, LL, RR, RL. this is marked on the inside of each wheel. Not sure if this would mess up your stance. I just think these might weigh down an IS250 and make it even slower lol (not hating cause i have a 250). For the price id give it a go assuming quality was not as big of an issue. Also I like this style over all the other ISF wheels especially that W snow flake looking one in 2010 I think looked like a VW logo lol.

Update: I contacted the seller asking if the picture provided was of the rep wheels in order to test their honesty. They replied saying that they got that picture online and it is most likely the authentic wheels. He said they currently dont have pictures of the wheels installed because the reps just came out.

Yea, the originals are nice but the specs are too conservative for what i want.

He's also not a new seller, been selling for over 10 years, but with something like wheels if something goes wrong, it's usually down the road a bit, and you would likely not be in a position to rate it negatively, because it would be too late / you'd already have rated it positively at the time.

Well if you look out some details for the seller, hes been registered like said before for about 10 years, August 01. Hes been selling better rims than isf and has 100% still, it looks legit and trustable... at least for me...

Funny how things work - I was just looking at these wheels two days ago and all of a sudden we have a dedicated thread. lol. I have to admit, the rep's look good and the setup is more aggressive than OEM. Although, OEM is probably stronger and lighter and I've come across a set for $1800. Just don't know if it's worth it to go replica when after all is said and done I'll be in about $1200. I'm leaning towards OEM. Thoughts?

There are some great aftermarket wheels for a little more
