Default Having the hardest time deciding on wheels.

^
Basically I'm looking for a great looking set of monoblock wheels.
I drive my 2014 is350 F sport daily.
Now I'm having the most difficult time figuring out whether I should go for a set of cast wheels (everyone seems to have a set of vossens), mind you all the horror stories I've heard. OR go with a forged set.
Price vs. Durability?
Price isn't really an issue, I'm confident in spending up to $3.5k.
I've gone through hundreds of threads, photos and specs.....

Hopefully some of you guys could shed some light as to realistically which kind of set I should be looking into, more-or-less.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the early morning posts haha.

If you are looking for a premium set of monoblock wheels (for $3.0-3.5k You can get almost the very best) look at Volk Racing from RAYS or TWS Forged - many options with dedicated IS/GS specs. Prodrive Japan (made by RAYS) offers some nice wheels, the specs are spot on too. WORK has recently released their REALLY exlensive and great looking forged monoblock Gnosis FMB01. Advan from Yokohama produces great sporty wheels, but their range in not Lexus oriented in terms of specs (they are perfect for Nissan/Infinity), but some ones may be interesting for You.
