Since both optional wheels for IS are made (OEM) from ENKEI, they should be one of top wheel on the market.
Do you think it's good idea to get the wheel from LEXUS in performance wise?
your thought?

I believe the wheels are cast and not forged. If you're looking for performance, you want to get 1 piece forged for strength and weight. The stock 18"s are probably ~24-25 lbs. 1 piece forged 18"s can be as low as 18 lbs. That's a lot of unsprung weight and will help with performance.
