Just wondered if anyone has any pics of their own or even other peoples ISs with either of the OTHER 2 factory 18s? Im talking about the G-spiders and i think the other is called ISP wheels or something?

From the pictures I've seen (can't remember where other than on lexus.com) I favor the ISP Mode. However, I think the best looking wheels are the BBS wheels they are showcasing at the auto show. I think they are called Plasma or something, I looked them up the other day, but have forgotten now. Someone help me out if you know which ones I'm talking about. There was a recent thread of a funky blue IS 350 at the auto show with them.

Mwaull,

Welcome to ClubLexus! I found some of the pics you're looking for by using the forum advance search feature, pointed at the 2IS forum and using keywords like

G-spyder
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=G-spyder



We've also got a dedicated gallery for 2nd gen IS that may have some pics of these

Lots more wheel gap than I expected.

Does anyone have a close-up of those wheels on an IS350 with the sport suspension?

it's about a 4-finger gap up front with the sport suspension. Eibach is developing a kit right now.

The gap is there because the front tire is smaller than the rears.

The G-Spiders actually look much better on the car than I expected from the wheel photo. I think I might actually like them better than the ISP Mode now, but can't really go wrong either way IMHO.

$2400? really? Is that with tires?

Before our CL discount Sewell Lexus / lexus-parts.com has these wheels for $249 ea 18x8 and 18 x 8.5
