They should have made these wheels LIGHTER and 19 x 8.5 +32 & 19 x 10 +48, then the universe of IS owners would be after them.

Doubt it. they'd also be very expensive. BMW did this with light weight version 19" wheels for the M3 ZCP (same wheels as the true CSL) and the cost was $5500. lol.

very niche market for expensive wheels especially on a standard non-F sports sedan.

Of course you'd disagree.

I'm a fan of the LFA wheels, so something closer to that than what we have, lighter, and a bit bigger would sell well, I think. No real need to make them forged, so the cost would't have to be nuts.

You should probably title the post to say something like "This reminds me of the RC F Track Edition".

I love the red color bottom of the steering wheel. I tried to special order after market leather steering cover with the red only at the bottom but no one has it. They have the top and bottom red. I don't want the top red.

I don't believe the wheels changed between 2014-2019. There are different part numbers for Canada Spec and for the Crafted Line, but nothing for model years.

Hm, if it's the same part number, maybe my friend's wheels are just messed up. He has a 2015 with wheels that, even when clean, appear to be darker than mine. I think there was also a thread about this topic before.
