looool to a car with 300hp you won't care much about weight but for our version which has 228hp it's like you will drop acceleration, top speed, and hp... which will lead the car to feel like 180hp lets buy toyota camry better loooooooool

hmmm i don't like arab drifting loooooooooooooool it's very funny... It's easy to drift with your IS Rashood... Turn your Traction Control off use tip tronic with ECT power on.... go fast on any U turn once you are at the edge of the turn break lower the gear to 2 or 3 depending on how much space you have at the exist... once you are starting to turn step on the accelerator and try to balnce the car with the wheel and the accelerator...

try this at your own risk okay don't come to me if you bump looooool

hmmm, i have a question...

I'm running my Lexus IS rear wheels with 275/35/19 which is a big tire... can i run on the rear 245/35/19 ?

My rear wheels info:
Rim Size: 19x9.5
Offset: +45mm
Backspacing: 7.01"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size:255/35-19
Weight: 27.5lbs.

I wanna change them cause the rear wheel feels really heavy with the 275. If i install 245 will it do any good and is it gonna make it lighter than what it is now?

+1 light weight wheels do make the world of difference, its not even about driving fast or drifting, ur car feels lighter on its feet. Driving in general is more enjoyable

Rashood: Our cars are great for drifting, if u want to practice, wait for another rain storm and head to ur local parking lot for safe trial and error. then u can do some proper "@$$ all the way out" drifts

I would do this over the PM lets stay on topic and talk about wheel and tires, if you don't have an answer for me you didn't have to waist a post of a reply over something you don't like about me..

I was adding to ur comment towards rashood, not to you,sides no need to get all pissy about it. Its important to promote safe drifting, not first time trials on the street

Still I would do this over the pm so you don't screw the topic...

Guys lets just go back the topic and forget all of this and start posing photos...

I am so happy you posted this, I have the 20" version of these. Here they are on my 2004 accord...I just bought my 2007 IS350 and will be putting on that when I get windows tinted, tails/heads tinted, reflectors tinted, these put on, and about an inch drop all around. Should look awesome
