going to be dissapointed
if these wheels don't fit.
I'm not sure if they'll fit on my 250 rwd. I can't really find a site with the specs on them, and on most of the websites I've looked at it seems like they're just for porsches. Am I wrong? I love these rims and I just need to know if I can keep them on my to-buy list. Help?
I found them here:
click
Techart Formula GTS, I was looking to get 18 or 19", whichever looks better with no rubbing problems.
and a photo

i have the feeling you are trying to accomplish a full black look judging by the smoked headlamp and taillamp. What is the price tag on these?
in my opinion, you would be better off with a japanese wheel company to better match the car.

this wheel is a bit ... I don't know what to say just not match to IS... Get something else or you might regret!!
And if the spec you got frm the net is ture then they will not fit to your IS since the P.C.D with IS is 114.3 on the other hand Porsches is 120.0

Tech Art is a Porche tuner, probably not something I would put on an IS. I would stick with a Japanese company like Volk, Work, Advan, SSR, Wedsport, etc.

Plus, those Techart rims arent that strong. It was on the Cayenne Turbo and had to be fixed a couple of times because of damage from potholes.

Won't fit. The bolt pattern for Porsche is 5x130. Our cars are 5x114.3.
Besides, TechArt is a tuner for Porsche.

Oh my bad oh mighty one.
Yeah I admit, I skimmed through it.
That's what I get for working and surfing ClubLexus at the same time.
