They are mechanically identical to the RC F tires and wheels. Same widths and offsets. At the factory spec 4034 lbs curb weight, it's pretty similar to the RC F's loading too.

Wow good to know, for some reason it looks more aggressive on the GS-F.

I can't believe how good these wheels look on the IS-F. I WISH they looked that good on the RC-F. My car came with these and I can't get them off of there fast enough. I had kept and stored my IS-F wheels and put them back on the car when I traded it. I may market these wheels (RC-F) to this community rather than store them when I can get new wheels on the RC F.

You really dislike the Standard wheel that much..??

I find it to be the best of the three..

When you saw them in person on the test mule.. Did you like them then??

I think they would look good to most people, but they almost look like a cheaper version of the 08-09 blade wheels on the IS-F to me and I'm sure a few other F owners.

^^^^ Not me!!!! I just bought a set of the standard wheels w/o tires. And I just ordered a set of 295/30/19 & 255/35/19 Bridgestone S04 Pole Positions for them. I liked the S04s so much on my stock wheels that I'm stickin' with them.

Good move. Paid off looks perfect. Your drop is perfect which makes it even better

Different strokes for different folks I guess. To be honest, the poster's wheel selection would not have been my first choice, they look good on his car, just not my cup of tea. He likes them, he has pontificated about them and I whole heartily applaud him for his final choice and his diligence about explaining his selection process. But awful, is a word I would not use to disparage anyone's choice. For myself I would only own real FORGED wheels by either Volks or BBS - I demand OEM quality. And I don't want to screw around with hub adapter rings!

My "ghetto" wheels will be here tomorrow, and before I install the tires, I will weigh them and post results here and in the RCF section.

Of the three RCF wheel choices, I'm sure I made the best choice for me and my F. They will look perfect on an MM car. I prefer a wheel with distinct spokes and the recessed center is a nice touch. The other two choices are far to busy for me and look like they will be monsters to clean. The "ghetto" wheels look good standing still and in motion. A very simple design IMHO. The more I see of them, the more I like them.

On another note, It looks like Lexus has dropped the trademark blue from the "F" marque. No more blue stitching and the blue hallo outline is gone from the F logo. I don't know why, but that blue was an important design touch to me

Here's a video of an RCF with the standard wheels:

Default 3IS RCF wheels?

That looks incredibly good! Would the RC F 20-spoke fit on a 2014 IS350?
