Default Who here likes the F-Sport 19" Forged Alloy Wheels?

I dont really like the pics of the wheels but just saw one in person the other day and I thought it looked pretty nice. I think it was like over 2000 bucks so I was wondering would you get them or get some aftermarket wheels like volk or something?

I dont care for them. For the $$$ you can do better IMO. I like the 5 Axis rims if you are looking for that kind of style. Not sure how much they are.

Just stopped by the dealership yesterday, and they have stock wheels in black chrome finish...Looked pretty good--They had them on a black IS and black GS. They looked better than the F Sports IMO

I like them. They're about $1850 at Sewell. I will probably upgrade to those when I need to replace my stock tires.

I personally like them, only because they took the extra step to add the lips to make it look more aggressive.

F-Sport wheels look like crap.. IS-F wheels however are the hotness! Wish we could get those that fit our normal IS's instead..

Well I like em more than lots of so called "real rims" since I don't really like the big lip look.. I much prefer the full faced flush rim look and I like the IS-F's black chrome finish too..
