Question 19" Accessory F Sport wheels

Has anyone checked into the availability of these. I'm told Lexus is having a difficult time finding someone to actually build these. They don't look any different than the IS F Sport accessory wheels so I didn't know if anyone else knew why there is such in delay in getting these to market? I was hoping to get these for my car but the dealership is telling me Nov/Dec. Who wants to put on a sport wheel in the winter time?

Hope someone out there has some additional background/info.

Thanks!

Do you mean the wheels in this picture? If so, here's an eBay link for some on sale right now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-F-SPOR...054#vi-content

Sewellparts.com also has them. Be sure to register and get the ClubLexus discount.

These will be my Christmas present. Wife said I need to wait...

Bad news dude...these aren't compatible with the new GS model. The LOOK exactly the same but won't work. Wish they did...I'd purchase a set. Thanks for the info tho!

Interesting because it mentions the GS in the listing. The dealership is in Miami, I think, so I may give them a call.

My dealer is able to match Sewell's price, so I'll follow up with them too.

Aren't those the same wheels they had on the 4GS in the commercial where it's being chased by a huge magnet?

Yes. So I'm assuming these wheels DO fit the 4GS...

If I'm wrong, then I'll be the first dude in line to get these but I'm told the IS-F version isn't compatable. So I'm happy to be corrected. ;-)

Yes, they are. U R correct. That's what's so frustrating. Why advertise a product that is NOT available! If the dealership would've just owned up & said "heck, we don't know" that would've been acceptable. However, everywhere I've checked I've been told I had 2 wait for the "factory GS-F accessory wheels". That's the reason I thought I'd kick this out 2 this group. I figure there so guys that have asked elsewhere &/or have tried it. Thanks again 4 all the feedback guys!

The only reason ISF wheels don't fit is because they don't clear gs350 calipers. Those rims will fit 4gs no problem.
