i get some rubbing when making sharp turns while braking... like when you're about to pull into your driveway. got some black mcgard splinedrive lugs but the key to the lock broke on me! hopefully they can send me a replacement key. that's the reason why all my lugs are black except for the chrome lock that i recycled from the stock wheels.

mine broke on the first wheel! for the rest of the wheels i just reused the original locks from the stock wheels. i was just very careful in screwing em in so the tire iron wouldn't scratch the rim. i guess ima call mcgard tomorrow and ask them if they can send me a replacement key. i hope i don't have to pay shipping to send the broken one back. what did you do for yours?

Ers Gtc01
2006 IS360 Tungsteen Pearl w/black interior
Enkei Racing Series GTC01 Hyper Black
Front: 19 x 8.6 Rear: 19 x 9.5 (Weight 23 pounds)
Wheel Offset Front: 22
Wheel Offset Rear: 42
Compatible with TPMS
Tire Make and Model: Toyo TIR (Threadwear 280)
Tire Size Front: 135/30/19
Tire Size Rear: 175/30/19
Suspension mods: Tanabe Sustec NF210
Amount of drop: .8" in the front and 1" in the rear
I was looking for a clean look and i beleive these wheels where the right choice, besides it seems that no one else had them on an IS (im not counting the Enkei IS http://www.enkei.co.jp/webmagazine/a...ket/index.html). My second choice was the AME FS-01, since they are also made by Enkei.
The other reason i chose the GTC01 was the weight. Only 23 pounds, i didnt want to loose performance, also they are built with a special technology that makes them strong.
One curious feature is the 2 air valves per wheel, since they are race oriented, they include it (for those of you who dont know what are 2 air valves used for in racing.... i didnt knew, one of the valves is used to fill air and the other for a preasure meter at the same time, so its really fast and efficient to get the right amount of air into the wheels, but i guess ill never use that feature)
I just installed them yesterday and the more i see the car with them the more im liking it.
Hope to get better pictures later and post them.
