I forget the exact maker of the wheels but I am sure you can get them from Lexus when the car comes out.! I would hate to see the price of those at the parts counter!! Can we say 2k -4k a piece easy

here's all the info.

Wheels are BBS 20"
265 front
305 rear
offsets are probably tight to fit big rotors and BBK.

Wheel design looks great, this should have gone on 2010 IS-F instead of the hideous W design. But then again saving something special for the new flagship. Some of these pictures are incredible. There is also a video on youtube showing the guage cluster and how it changes. Pretty friggin cool!

Considering there will be only 500 built for the 2011/2012 model year and about 200 heading to the US. Good luck finding a set. ONEIS F rim already costs close to $2k. I can only imagine what the LFA rim (BBS made) will cost considering it's exclusivity.

The badge looks great. The rims are ok, but might as well go with a 3-piece aftermarket if your going to spend money on rims.

^^ Gothca..

Back to the wheels..

I personally like the Gunmetal wheel finish as found on the IS-F..

It also seems the IS-F center caps might have carried over into these BBS wheels as well..

Fronts are 20x9.5 (265/35ZR20 95Y)
Rears are 20x11.5 (305/30ZR20 99Y)
Tire Brand: Bridgestone

LFA parts / wheels will most likely NOT be offered through the normal Lexus Parts dept..



Gunmetal FTW...!!

Those would look nice on ISF, since they're 20s.

Someone should photoshop these wheels onto an ISF (and ISx50 )

I bet they would cost a fortune to get though!!
