Default Wedsport Wheels?

Hi Guys,
I've been keeping an eye out for some custom wheels for the F. The thing is that it's slim pickings to try and keep with my goals of finding the right wheel...the main being not DOWNGRADING the stock FORGED BBS wheels and also keeping with unique factor that the wheels give the car. I ran across the Wedsport Sa 67R wheels that had the right offsets and really lightweight, about 8.8kg (about 17 pounds for a 19x9 wheel). But the thing is, I can't seem to find any information about the quality and strenght of the wheels. I was hoping someone here can shed some insight about these wheels. By the way, here is a pic of a IS-F with these wheels:

Wed sports are awesome wheels and. Wheel quality is in my opinion as good as Volk or Works or BBS. In general they are JDM wheels and with that comes JDM quality. Ive seen weds on a bunch of Japanese race cars or track cars. Anyways I think Weds are an excellent choice of rims for the IS-F.

I came across Wedsports over on the Supra Forums, then I afound this pic of the IS-F on one of the other Lexus Forums. My only concern is the strenght and durability of such light wheels. My IS-F is my daily driver and I don't want to put wheels on it that will be bent too easily. I still haven't been able to find out if they are forged, flow formed, or cast. I think anything less than flow formed is a down grade from our stock forged BBS wheels...Darshana S..

Hey Darshana

I really like their newest model .... as shown in post# 1

I couldn't find their manufacturing process on their English version website and I will be honest, my Japanese is a bit rusty..

They have a contact us email on their site, shoot them an email...
