I think because the ISP is staggered. For awd, it is recommended to run same size wheel all around.

Staggered 18 - 18x8 Front, 18x8.5 Rear

Non-Staggered 18 - 18x8 Front & Rear

I believe for the non staggered 18, Lexus has the OEM GS350 wheels, G-Spyders, and Tourmalines.

I'm sure you can run two sets of Fronts from the OEM IS 18" and OEM ISP.

Where is the best place to get X package wheels? My local dealer quoted me a ridiculous price.

Best place is hard to say. I'd say be patient. I paid about? $700 for the set... sold my stocks for $400.00. Not a bad upgrade.

Default ISP/F1 Rims

I think in Australia the ISP rims are known as the F1 rims - just picked up my car yesterday with Yokohama Advan Sport tyres and love it!

I got my '08 a couple weeks ago and had it set up to have the ISP's on it, BUT CHROMED!! I would have been fine with the great finish that they already have, but because of a couple of bumps down the road to signing papers, the dealership said, "how about if we just send these ISP's off to get chromed"?? Who am I to say NO to chrome? And not at my expense!?!

Long story, kind of short, is that the wheels were sent out on 10/22 and I should have them back before 11/16. Until then, I'm on the 18" stock wheels that came with it, which still look great, but just not my personal favs!

I'll post pics of the Chromed ISP's as soon as I get them

Yes. The 08+ 2IS 18's were not available when I initially opened this thread. Maybe a moderator can edit the Poll?
