first problem is bolt pattern, no idea if it's the same 5x114 yet.

then it's the size. with those widths, i am a bit skeptical about fitting on the isf, dunno how much fender work is needed

and then it's price. made by bbs, extremely limited, i can't even start to think about how expensive they would be

not when you see the price tag. suddenly the wheels might become "not too bad"

^^^ I'm going to guess closer to $3000 - $4000 each . They are going to produce at least 500 for the production line. I would expect bolt pattern to be the same. a 305 on the rear probably means it is at least a 20 X 11, so I don't see it fitting an IS unless you go widebody on the fenders. I'm 285 on my rears and pretty damn flush.

Looks like a slight variation on the BBS FI. They have the blade effect from the IS-F. The FI is expected to retail somewhere between $12k and $15k a set.

Nice catch on the blades..

Seems the Blades point to each other making them impossible to install backwards.. LoL

Sorry a bit OT, Joe's post made me think... Are the 2010 ISF wheels directional like the 08-09's?

So to clarify some of the rumors about these rims. They will NOT fit any Lexus vehicle. This wheel is specific to the LFA only. The LFA does not have the conventional hub with 5 studs. In fact, the wheel is mounted with 5, 50mm hex head type bolts that go directly into the wheel hub.

Here are some specs on the wheels/tires. The Bridgestone Potenza on this car are so new, there is still an embargo on the model name and tread design. The LFA is the first vehicle to feature these Bridgestone Potenza tires.
