Default any pics of Lex ISP wheels setup?

Like the title says, cause all I found is this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=200168&page=2 (post #45)

I need some more pics if anyone has this setup on their 2IS. Haven't decide whether getting the ISP or the Volk Progressive ME

if I have the $$ I will go for the VOLK man... however... there are few CL members have the VOLK on if you are in the state then you might see the VOLK on road sometimes... The ISP always my choice but I could get it send to Macau (the shippment cost)... Anyway I voted for VOLK

I actually like the ISP.

People will tell you that too many spokes is hard to clean. But I like its simplicity and its clean non-rice look. It complements the car well.

There are lots of people who TALK about getting Volk Progressiv ME's, but very few who actually have them. I doubt very seriously that you'll see other IS's (or even other cars for that matter) with these wheels rolling around. Having said that, there is a HUGE price difference between these two wheels. If you have the cheese, to me it's a no-brainer - Volks all the way. They look better IMO, and they are about 8 pounds lighter. However, a set of ISP's won't set you back $3,000 either...

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with you on that part. Part of getting the wheels is setting your car apart =P

Sorry not feeling either of your choices, so I vote 'neither'.
I'm more of a BBS/G-Spider fan. Same sitch, got the cash - get BBS, otherwise the G-Spiders are not a bad alternative . . .

THat pic is the ISPs on a non-sport model IS. Mine is a little lower. That pic isn't my car, it was one someone else took when they went to the Taste of Lexus in their city.

i like the ISP's, but like most wheels (and cars) they look better when the car is lowered.

Looking good, but too many spokes to clean. I'm lazy.
