They look chrome in the commercial, but maybe they are just liquid silver. In any case, they look great with LP and I want them.

There are 2 official F-Sport rims.

One is the rim seen in the OP which apparently comes in silver.

The other is in dark graphite and looks like this :

The new wheels look great, the finish looks perfect against the Nebula Grey paint!

That's just the wheels don't forget 150 for the new lug nuts. It was price matched to sewell parts and had to pay an additional 80 for mount and balance. Overall i'm very happy with them.

Now if only the F-sport springs would become available.

Looks good, now you just need to offset those brake calipers so it doesn't blend together! (just my 2 cents) GL...keep us posted!

Nice. Is this setup the exact same size as stock?

Any idea about the weight of this forged tire/wheel combination vs the oem Fsport combination?

these wheels are lighter than OEM F Sport wheels... they're forged alloys. which will reduce even more unsprung weight. you can get them 19x8 or 19x9.

Very nice! I'm so glad these pics got posted because I'm getting the same setup, including the lowering springs on my Lux GS. My car is also nebula grey!

If you can, please post pics looking down the side of the car. I'm curious how the side profile of the car looks now with your new wheels.

Also, what tires did you choose?

Will Def get more pics up once all the rain stops!

I stayed with the stock brigstones and in a few months once I do the drop i'll be switching over to the Pilot super sports.
