^^ Thanks - I am not sure why, if it's a phone setting or something but every time I look at the car outside, the look is just perfect....Then I take a pic and I am like "that is not how my eyes sees it". Regardless, I am still very happy with the car and how it looks even with teh black wheels. I am going to source out a set of lighter colored BBS wheels later this summer....It won't be cheap but I fell in love with them (Thanks Mike F) and just can't resist them. Don't get me wrong, the black wheels look amazing with the red calipers and such, but I am not sure I have in me to look after such a finish - We'll see I guess. Also, I agree 200% with your post in the "forever car" thread.
^^ Exactly!! I am collecting donations also, so please feel free to send me a paypal donation. I was gonna do some male exotic dancing in nursing homes but even my GF said I would have better luck with donation wia paypal (lol)
^^ Oh, these specific ones may be but they come in 19 inches too, at least that is my understanding. The alternative option are also the wheels that will be on the 2026 IS 350, those look amazing too.
There are not that expensive. Under 4k easy. They make in 19/20/21” diameters and multiple sizes. BBS even offers titanium bolts.
The diamond black finish matches UE perfectly or most any silver. The luster is incredible.
Hey...I agree, the wheels are amazing and thanks for hooking me up. I agree they are no that expensive for what they are, I just had forgotten how more expensive these forged BBS wheels are compared to OEM wheels. I am going to get the 19 inches

Are these the BBS "unlimited" mounting (using adapter rings) or specific to the IS fitment? It looks like BBS offers the CI-R in both standard and "unlimited" versions?
Also, does anyone know the front and rear concavity version (1, 2, or 3) of this car and the offsets? Looking at BBS website looks like Platinum Silver would be very nice too (hard to tell much difference from Diamond Black in photos).
BBS "unlimited" description:
The BBS Unlimited system is a modular wheel program using 5x117.5 hub adapters and spacers (14mm to 50mm) to achieve custom, precise offsets and fitments for nearly all 5-lug vehicles. This system allows 19-21 inch wheels, such as the CI-R, to be adapted to different bolt circles (5x100 to 5x130) and, if necessary, be reconfigured for a new vehicle by changing adapters.

Hi, so they make different spacers for different vehicles. This is IS specific in this case. 20x9+33 and 20x10+44 is what is being ran. I haven’t had time to try to all the different faces. Something I hope to do over the summer .
