I am not sure either.... the previous owner told me it was factory.... but I doubted... lol... I've never seen chrome one on ISF so far in person.... I'm thinking to paint it back to gunmental as it will not be as flashy... Thanks btw

And if you search for posts by JoeZ he often reposts a graphic that shows which wheels go where. The blade design does have a front.
I'm gonna paint the wheels to gunmetal as soon as I find a good wheel paint shop locally!! I was looking at the blade design on her yesterday and finally realized what you guys were talking about how the blades were supposed to face front!!! gonna switch them to the right position soon too!! I guess that will be the first two things that i'm gonna do to my car.. lol

You are the first one liking the chrome on these wheels!!! We should have swapped our wheels when I first got her!!! since I see you're from Texas and I got my car from Texas too....

I've finally done something to my F after three months of ownership!
I've only installed the LED interior lighting kit and the E-brake aluminum pedal!
Hope you enjoy

Rob is a nice guy and he's easy to approach! Most importantly, he's mobile tho I don't know how far he's willing to travel to do the detailing. If you live near Santa Barbara area, he's the detailer you can definitely work with! The price is reasonable too! Thank you and enjoy

Not that I know of.... I think Neiman Marcus wheels are the same as the regular ISF... these wheels were painted by the previous owner.. Painting them back to the factory color soon

Those aren't Neiman Markus wheels, the Neimans have a polished blade, but the inside of the spokes and the barrels are painted a gunmetal color on the Neimans.
Fun fact, all the Canadian spec 2008 ISF's came with the Neiman Markus designed wheels.

No it's not.. I got confused between the regular ones and Neiman Marcus ones when I first go my F. It's interesting that all the Canadian spec 08 F got the NM design wheels. Did you guys also have F logo on the headrest too like the 2014 models in the US in 2008?
