All that white stuff on my wheels is just the mounting goop they used.... This pic was fresh outa the tire shop.
FWIW.....
The total for the tires was $860 and included everything, plus an unconditional flat tire replacement all the way around. So if I get a flat and it can't be repaired, they install a new tire at no cost.....America's Tire did it for me and did a very professional job and it took about an hour. Good people for sure....

Hey bud, did you mean that your front is a 18x8.5 with a 42 offset? Also, any rubbing issues?
Thanks,
Peter

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.
