Didn't know such a wheel existed. Thanks for the FYI! Those look alot better than my cancer-riddled OE wheels.

Yeh deal for sure! I worked in the dealer since 2000 until last August, and we would see deals like this when they move stock.

Btw OP, I just had the same Firehawk Indy’s mounted up this past Saturday. Profile is nice, and seem to ride well so far.

Yeah, I can't wait to get these on my car. The wheels that came with it were in very bad condition. Got a great deal on the car though, so using the extra saved money on a nice set of Winter wheels/tires and now Summer wheels/tires!

Just an extra FYI:
I ordered from mylparts.com on Thursday and I just got shipping confirmation a little bit ago. When I ordered I tried using their free shipping coupon code. They sent me a message telling me they can't ship wheels for free and that they wanted $115 extra for the shipping costs. The checkout shipping quote was $47. I asked them if they could lower the costs because there were other sites that I could buy from for cheaper. They replied that they were making $12 per wheel on this sale and that they are just a very low margin part. I'm curious if anyone else will run into any issues from other sellers. Please post here with your experiences.

Nice! Just received the 225's today and will get the 255's Wednesday. Wheels should be here Friday. Hopefully have them installed by early next week!

Much better than my current pimple faced summer wheels.

My wheels currently look very similar.
Gonna call the local Lexus/Toyota dealers in the morning to see when kinda deals they can offer/if they are still avail.

thanks OP!

F SPORT 18-IN P5 FIVE-SPOKE ALLOY WHEELS priced for around $70 at a few different online retailers.

There are 2 different sizes. 18x8 and 18x8.5. Offsets are 40 and 45 mm. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 mm. Bore size is 60.1mm.

Part numbers are PTR5953130 and PTR5953131.

Seems like a great deal to me. I bought a staggered set to replace my corroded OEM set. Going to fit them with some Firehawk Indy 500's.

I hope this helps someone else out in the market for some new wheels.
Do you have a link on where you got these rims?

Thanks,

Yeah I'm finding that the prices are all over the board too.
I called a local (Canadian) dealer and they were 345 and 379 at another.
Once I called the US dealers, the prices dropped to $111 each (very low for their average prices).

Thanks for that info. I ended up paying about $100/wheel shipped.

Just to confirm, these DO fit an stock, 06 IS350 correct?

Going to drive over the border to have them installed and balanced with my current tires.

I believe there is a very good chance that they will fit. I believe others have installed 3IS wheels on 2IS vehicles. My delivery date got moved up a couple days early so I should be able to test fit them tomorrow after work. I'll update this thread with some initial thoughts and verification of fitment.

Edit:
The large four piston front brake calipers would be the only issue with fitment. My Maxxim Sixx 18x8" +45 offset winter wheels only had 1.5 mm clearance from the caliper.
