Default ISP Mode 18"??

Does anyone have any real world pics of their cars with 18" ISPs? I can't seem to find any pics of these anywhere on the forum (most seem to be getting the standard "staggered" spoke 18s) The ISP mode wheels look FANTASTIC in all of the ads, i'm just trying to see what they look like in the context of real world without all the fancy lighting.

My first thought was without question to get the 18 ISPs but am worried that the pics i see on here indicate that either 1. people aren't interested in them or 2. the small number of cars in the initial allocation did not contain many cars with ISPs.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I found the same pic as you. The one on the Official Roll Call thread. I think they look sweet but would like to see more pics to confirm.

anyone got the ISP mode rims? if so did your dealer allow you to deduct the partial value of your stock rim towards them?

Default One of our Parts specialists, Ray....

put the ISP's on his Matador 6-speed. He added the ground effects kit also. He sold his 17" OEM rims on Ebay in a few days. People are bending a few rims out there apparently and a secondary market is cropping up. Most dealers will give very little back for the original rims unfortunately. The ISP's make the car look atheletic and you can put an all season sport tire like the Michelin Pilot AS Sport that Ray used. The factory only offers Summer tires in 18"s.

do a search on ISP and you'll find a few.

Default ISP / ISP-Mode OEM rims? (merged threads)

I've searched for some pics, and it's hard to even find anything with the dealer accessory wheels, let alone the chrome versions of them. Does anyone have any pics of them? Preferrably with a drop on a matador red, but I don't want to get too greedy...

I'll even settle for good pics of ANY ISP-mode wheels if I can't find chromes.

Also, how much did your dealer charge you? Did you get it chromed at the dealer, or elsewhere? I've already bought the car, and based on the prices I saw for wheels at the dealership, it seems like it would be reasonable to expect to pay about 2000-2500 for chrome ISP mode wheels... although there's probably an even bigger mark-up if you're buying the wheels separately...

Thanks in advance for the help!

I saw that, but I couldn't find any chrome ISP-mode wheels. It was hard to find any ISP-mode wheels at all. I didn't fully search it, but I scanned most of it. Did you see any in there?

Either way, thanks for the help.

And Larry, these are the ISP-mode wheels:



They're from Lexus, and I think you can only get them through a dealer.

Oh and Rocketguy, might be worthwhile to call Sewell Lexus / www.lexus-parts.com (one of our forum vendors) to see if they chrome the ISP wheels. They sell for about $250 each on their website, and CL members get 10% off. From what members have posted, they usally cream what your local dealers sell OEM wheels (in general) for.

Wow, that's pretty cheap. $225 each after the discount?

I'll check that out, thanks Dave. Hopefully they'll chrome them...

And Larry, thanks for the pics. Those are the wheels I have now (not chromed, though), and I'm not really too fond of them at this point. They're not bad, but not what I want to have long term...

I'd still appreciate if someone could provide some pictures of chrome ISP's, but the odds look like they're against me...
