Default Sport Edition SE-14 Wheels = Budget IS-F Wheels

So i was doing some window shopping at tirerack for rims for my ES350
and I can across,



then I thought....those look familiar



Maybe I found what I was looking for, I was gonna get a mesh style wheel, but I'll save that for a special day in my future and get proper ones.

Does look similar. IS-F wheels are actually made by BBS and were designed after Samurai blades. They also are shaped to help keep the brakes cool

Those are more like dead on copies of the G37 Coupe sport wheels.

good call, yeah I've read how the IS-F wheels are BBS, plus the IS-F have an angled cut in them, like you said like a samurai sword.

Looks like 17" and 18" only...

Do cars still take wheels that small?

At least the offsets blow.

Does anyone know where I can get a center caps for the above G37 Rims? I just bought the same wheels above off G37 and I will install them on my GS430 and need to find a center caps that fit the wheel when I removed the Infiniti caps out. Any suggestion please? Does Lexus caps fit this wheels?
