Default IS-F with 1 Piece Forged Volk Racing RE30 Formula Edition '08 with Toyo T1R tires

*Note these are some teaser shots, will try to get some better pictures because it was raining today* So anyways.....I got persuaded by a certain 2IS member to look at these rims...so I decided to get them, so I now have another set in addition to my HRE's . I was lucky that mackinindustries had a set of these limited edition rims for the IS-F fitment in stock. I just put them on today Oct. 4, 2008 at VIP Status. Go see Clark for anything you need for rims and other stuff! I am running 19x9's in the front with Toyo T1R 245/35/19 with +38 offset, and the rear is running 19x10's with Toyo T1R 275/30/19 with +35 offset. You can see from the pictures that the front rim weighs 19.8lbs while the rear weigh 20lbs even. The front tires weigh 24lbs, and the rear weigh 26lbs. Total weight for the front rims with are 43.8lbs and the rear is 46lbs. I believe these rims are lighter than my HRE C93's except the HRE's are a 3 piece design and the rear is 19x10.5. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...&highlight=HRE I am happy with these rims and I just need a good set of coilovers to make this setup look sick! Well hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing your opinions.

Thanks for your time!

nope it doesn't rub...my HRE's have 19x10.5 and they rub due to the big Michelin PS2 tires...295/30/19....

Looks great! Why not go with a 285 sized tire in the back?

Very nice wheel. Looks good. Choosing wheels is the toughest mod to consider. One piece forged is the best way to go imo. None of that water puddle problem of multipiece wheels. Plus they are stronger and easier to care for. Good choice.

I went with 275 for the rear because its in the range for 19x10's without streching it too much...plus when I get coils for this car, I wouldn't have to worry about rubbing at all.
