Default ISS / ISF Special Edition Wheels

Hello everyone,

Talking with the guys at the office today we decided to do a Special Edition Finish for ISF owners. Our Idea is to offer a Carbon Wrapper Center with Grey or chrome Lips on any of our designs to match the interior of the ISF.

So the big question is, would ISF owners be interested in this product? We already have a prototype being made and expect a final product in about a month.

This will not be ready for about a month or so. I will call you so you can come see it when it's ready though. Maybe we can do a test fit on your car

Sorry I didn't reply but in all honesty I have been running around trying to get your exhaust system ready for Friday. I am almost positive it will happen. We will be test fitting the exhaust off the gig on Wednesday.

That's a great design to start with. I saw this wheel at their shop and it is beautiful.

In the $6,500 range but we will most definitely discount them for CL member. This would be a limited production item and will have the lexus ISF Logo engraved on the cap instead of the ISS

Hate to play devil's advocate here or be the bearer of bad news but are you crazy????

At $6500 you can buy a ton of other wheels....I wonder who here will really open their wallet for that kind of money! Lotsa talk but highly doubt you're going to sell any.

Let's see....$6500 you can buy:

A set of 20" BBS LM's

HRE's, NEEZ, Fikse, etc.....

I agree you can get a lot of wheels for that kind of money but what other company makes a special edition wheel for the ISF. Our wheels are full 3 piece forged aluminum just like all the ones you mentioned. We are all more of less in the same price bracket.

Thanks for the input, it is much appreciated.

May I ask what makes your wheel so "Special"? Besides perhaps the color?

I can think of a ton of companies on the bandwagon making forged wheels on every car forum....I've used/tried 3 of those companies and none of their quality can compare to BBS.

But hey if you can sell these wheels at $6500 a set, more power to you - I'd love to see them on a few IS-F's...who's stepping up?

I don't like s4play, but I'll have to agree with him on this. That price is wayyyy too high.
