Default RC F Rim swap?

Anyone else thinking about seeing if the RC F rims will fit on the IS350 F-Sport?

Still deciding.. These are super light weight. Love these wheels too.

i love mesh wheels but that might be overkill. even with your wheel detailing brushes, a racoon brush, etc., just way too many spokes to clean.

I don't really care for the RC F wheels. I agree with 4TehNguyen.. should resemble the LFA.. a split 5 spoke would be ideal.

Is it just me that thinks this looks too much like ES350 optional 18" rims?

Agree. But I do like the ES wheel (on the ES) and even more so the RC F-Sport's.

These are actually the rims for the F-Sport. The RC-F is quite different. Has somewhat of a layered Vossen CVT feel to it.

Yup. That's the rims I'm talking about. It looks great on ES. Way better than its standard/opt 17". But on RC F-Sport I'm not too sure. It might be good on ES F-Sport. I heard they will launch it either 2014/2015 right?

Bringing an old thread back to life.

​​​​​​Did anyone get to try if the RC F wheels will fit the 3IS?
