there is one guy on here that has them. I'm not a big fan of the way they look. Kind of bling bling.

Silver/dark solver always look awesome on blue. I'm just not a fan of the design of the spokes. It looks like a flower.

I also think you have to run spacers upfront to clear the caliper...

quite boneheaded that Lexus created "F-Sport" rims yet requires spacers on their F-sport vehicles .

Likewise i was pretty disappointed I couldn't put 09 IS-F rims on my car either for the same reason

I like the idea of forged, but agree they look kinda...um..weird. And I would need spacers to run on a IS 350C? That makes no sense

No rubbing at all. But it's not lowered and I don't drive with passengers.
