Those P40SC wheels look like the new FF01. Its just that the FF01 is not made in for the F. Very nice wheels. I love my HRE flow formed wheels (FF15)

Very nice!

Those really work well on our cars.

I know I'm probably biased, but think the F suits them more than the German metal!

Nice photos though for sure.

Amazing wheels, Meng! The finish, choice in design, and how it goes well with your white vehicles show you really do have an eye for the details.

Thx Brian for the compliment, I tried to copy u with the G25 but it didn't work out in my favour (cancelled my order due to long waiting time).. So I am where I am.

Agreed.

Sadly no.

Have given up trying. It's quite a lot of work to keep taking the steering wheel on and off. I'm worried I'll start wearing bits out if I keep doing it!

Will probably sell them to someone else to try out. Could just be a UK model issue?! No real way to know as no one else this side of the pond has them! Lol.

Was worth a try!

Funny how while controversial at first the IS-F design has become one of the more timeless beauties of the sport sedan class. The look still looks relatively fresh even after 7 years, and even next to newer models.

Sucks to hear it never worked, I agree with u on being a PITA to remove the steering wheel.

I agree, the ISF is still looking sexy after 6 years of ownership. The only bad part about this car is every mod cost a fortune compared to the C63 & bmw lol
