Very Nice for some Japanese Forged Wheels!!!!

I wonder if they are thinking of making them in a darker color... ?

Did you weigh them with out tires by any chance??

Hi Raffy,

Welcome to the Club, if you don't mind me asking, is the F special order in the Philippines? and How much did it cost?

Wheels look really good, nice choice! They're 19's?! They look like 20's (maybe it's the pictures)

Interesting, they look very OEM-ish, but not too sporty.

I really like the look of those wheels. I would love to know how much they weigh. With those wheel widths I would go with Continental DW tires - 255/35R19 front and 285/30R19 rear. I would also have the wheels painted the same color as the stock ISF wheels.

Opposed to what, the OEM wheel specs ?? LoL

19x8 +45
19x9 +55

If sold at dealerships (overseas), they will want that oem fit.
(to avoid rubbing at all costs)

Hi and sorry for the late response.

I was in Singapore for the GP last weekend and havent had access to a full keyboard til now.

My F is a 2008 US-sourced car. an importer brought it in in late 08 and I bought it from a previous owner at 1700miles last March. Lexus Manila does not carry the IS-F yet.

I got the wheels from Excellar Auto who is the local distributor of Tan-ei-sya. The set roughly came out to US$3800 including taxes and shipping. Wheels were shipped directly from Japan.

9.7kgs in front and 10.4kgs in the rear are how much each wheel weighs.

I'd also like to see them in another color but the almost OEM look appeals to me. In my other cars, I have the same look going.

There are only a few IS Fs in the Philippines. I know of only 7 and think that there may be no more than 15 in total.
