BBS AIR II CY, anyone know anything about them?
Any one have any info on these wheels? I can't find much and I am led to believe that they won't fit Lexus, let alone an IS-F.
They don't have them in Japan and I saw them on the German BBS site and was impressed, apparently they are supposed to be very light.

The innovative wheel with two-color look from BBS, AIR II CY, is a 2-piece construction that uses the patented BBS's Air Inside Technology for weight reduction and increasing the resistance of the wheel.
The lightweight wheel features an easily removable rim protector of stainless steel, a cast aluminum center, a cast rim section using "Air-Inside" Technology and hollow inner rim flange.
The AIR II CY wheels are only available in PBPO (Black center section with diamond-cut face, polished stainless steel outer rim) finish. Available in 19x8.5 and 19x10 sizes.

I like BBS but those look kinda truckish to me. You must be getting a black IS-F?

As for car color I am getting white. Do you think these would look better on a black car?

According to the link posted by 1SICKLEX, the bolt pattern and offsets are different. I copied the table it shows the specs on
Size 19x8.5 with Bolt patterns of
5x112 offset 35
5x120 offset 35
5x120 offset 18
all above an MSRP* of $1,080
Size 19x10 with Bolt pattern of
5x120 offset 20 and MSRP* of $1,150

Every where I looked I only found the application to fit: Audi, BMW & Mercedes..
No fitment for the Lexus / IS-F
BBS AIR INSIDE – Patented Hollow Chamber Technology - "More Air. Less Weight”
How – thought the BBS engineers – can we make a big wheel light, but also extremely safe? The result is amazing: “More air. Less weight.”
The secret: hollow chambers instead of aluminium. The patented BBS AIR INSIDE TECHNOLOGY with circumferential hollow chambers and hollow spokes provides a noticeably lower weight and considerably better stability. As a direct result, not only the driving dynamics and the driving comfort are improved. The brand-new BBS technology is also a guarantor for the maximum safety possible in traffic.
The AIR INSIDE TECHNOLOGY at one glance:
• The inner and outer shoulder are shaped into hollow chambers by flow-forming and are afterwards laser welded.
• The resistance to the deformation of the rim shoulder is being increased by 60 % and therefore significantly improves safety.
• The hollow chambers in the spokes increase the air volume of the wheel.
• This procedure reduces the weight of the AI wheel by approximately 5,3 kg.
• This counteracts the disadvantageous reduction of the air volume in low section tyres.
• Higher safety pressure at loss of air.
• Improved cushioning characteristics.
• Less noise development.
• Lower tyre flange temperatures.
