Default Looking for Wheels

What is the best offset and wheel specification to get for the F and the best looking rims. I love the look of BBS LM's and ISS forged sypders, but those are costly. any feedback is appreciated.

Vossen has some nice looking wheels for the IS-F at about half the price of the other two wheels you just mentioned.

Got to pay to play. I say splurge for the nice wheels.. you wont reject it. Living in CA you can leave them on all year, so you def will get your money out of them. I really reject buying cheap wheels for my previous cars, even though they looked sweet. Cast wheels bend easy, finishes can flake off on cheap wheels, and hard to get any $$ out of your resale.

I have mostly been dealing with two companies but more keep approaching me to represent them. BC wheel and Forged Specialties. FS is a bit higher end due to the 3-peice construction and the concave if wanted adds quite a bit of cost.


BC specializes in a 2-peice forged design and their newer stuff is both strong and light and provide a unique look because its a forged center on step lip and carries the spokes all the way to the edge. Anotehr nice thing is that they build them in 2 weeks to order, so depending on how you want them shipped they can get to you in 3 weeks from order time. I also provde fitment with tires, mounted and balanced and can work with you depending on which brand you want and how wide you want to go, plus the level of fender mods you want to do, from 0 to 20mm. 0 being you do not want to mess with them at all.
Here are some newer styles that are similar to what you might like.

I wish I have all F pics but unfortunately they keep making new styles and its hard to get every since one. The setup on my F below is a 19x11 with a 305 rear and a 19x9 front with a 255/35
I can build up whatever you need and be quite affordable with shipping and everything ready to roll.


The rest are on other vehicles but you can get an idea.

Default Those forged wheels are sweet

but when I first saw the WEDS (in this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-2011-isf.html) I was like WOW, those are nice. I am not big into show, but those wheels just made me salivate for some reason.

The 19x9.5/11 Linea Corse LC818 are probably my next wheels and I think some on Club Lexus already have them on the ISF. Look great!

haha, Mike you are probably always gonna beat me at a pic fight Your wheels look great and of course having them on an F is always a plus. I sought out wheels to provide what I wanted out of my car and to compliment the overall suspension offering. You guys have a great product and great customer service as far as everyone says and you certainly focus on the Lexus family so we all appreciate that There are not enough molecules of aluminum to give everyone what they want so I always look for more options.

I've gotten wheels and other parts from fig. Was extremely pleased with every purchase. Wheels come beautifully packaged with cnc'd wheel protector covers. Really can't ask for more from a vendor.

thanks for all your replies! vossen has some really nice wheels, they're attractive but i love the linea corse wheels and the price is cheap too. so i have another question, is it better to drop the car then get the wheels so you know what your limit is so you won't rub?
