Default IS from Germany
Got the car washed and waxed today so I decided to post some pics with it in the country side of Germany. 2014 IS350 F-Sport

I think those wheels looks so much better than the split 5-spokes we got as default on the F-Sport here.

I disagree, but I still like those five-spoke wheels, particularly with silver paint. I like the split-spoke ones due to the LFA homage they give.

Sharp-looking car. Are there many IS drivers in Germany?

I wasn't set on these wheels either when I first got my car. Overtime they grew on me and they do match the car's Atomic Silver. According to my invoice these wheels are F-Sport wheels. I haven't seen many F-Sport's with these wheels.

No, there aren't many IS350 F-Sport cars here. I think I may have seen one other one. I do know this possibly for sure... I'm just about the only Lexus here in Germany with an F-Sport exhaust and a black vinyl roof top. The Lexus dealer here said that they've never seen a Lexus with this type of exhaust or roof wrap. I asked why and they said because Lexus in Europe do not sell this exhaust and can't even order it. All the service guys and sales people at the Lexus dealership did a walk around of my car LOL. They also told me that they don't sell the F-Sport IS350 either. Only they F-Sport IS250, IS300, and get this.... F-Sport IS300 Hybrid in USB.

ya pretty much outside of North America, there are so many other choices of cars that Lexus really takes a hit by shares.

Looks great. I had those 5 spoke wheels on my IS and loved them. They were one of the reasons I chose to not get the F Sport package.

Exactly my case, the wheels and other details - made me steer away from the F-Sport when purchasing my 2016 IS350.
