They cost more than CF rims. Just imagine getting curb rash on those babies.... That would drive me to end myself.

You guys are confusing the two.
There are IS-F wheels, made by BBS and F-sport wheels.

The F-sport wheels are around $500 a wheel, not bad.

Whoops. I got too excited. Haha. BBS makes bad *** stuff though, but a lot of their products have too many spokes for my liking.

No problem. They use spokes b/c their engineering shows they are the strongest patterns you can have on a wheel, thus why they are just tons in every racing event you can think of.

Thanks for the quick lesson.

Now does anybody have any idea on whether or not those brakes can go on our cars? They're yummy.

A bracket will need to be made. I thought CarsonToyota had it as a list of projects.
They do fit the 3GS though.

6k plus for those "BBS" wheels? Quite the rip off. What is so special about these wheels that Lexus is selling? Are they hand crafted? Reminds me of the asking price per wheel for 17 inch stockers that NYC Lexus dealers Check out the BBS site and show me a BBS wheel for this price even close to what Lexus is offering
