I like the polished lip too but i was getting a little tired of seeing them on all kind of cars. also, the polished lip on these wheels goes all they way to the inside of the wheel. i like a small polished line on the outside of the wheel only.

As far as the wheels being all black, it might not look like it in the pics but in person you can deff. see every detail in the wheel. They look amazing.

The car is about as low as it can go at this point, if it were any lower I think it would take away from the "class" it has.

Hi Juice, nice set up! I just got a set of F-Sport 19"s, and I like the stance of your car. What rear tires size do you recommend if I want a fat-rim look? I don't want the tires to look too thick, and I'm afraid the recommended size (255/35ZR19) might look too thick and conservative. I was thinking 245/35ZR19 or maybe even 255/30ZR19. What do you think?

are you droped? or stock heigth?
I have 275/35/19 on the rear. the 255/35 tires they recommend for you might look almost exactly as mine on your F-sports because your F-sport wheels are 9 inches of width. (please make sure im right on this) mine are 9.5 inches.
I dont recommend going with a 30 ratio tire unless you are very low. i also dont recommend a 40 ratio tire because it might be too big (thats how stock tires are)
the 245/35/19 will be a little streched out but not too bad. it all depends on how low you are. to be streched you need to be low.
the 255/30/19 will be really thin even though they will not be streched out. I had 265/30/19 before i had mine and i hated it because im only dropped on eibachs and they were too thin, making the fender gap huge. and it also showed to much under the car. now with the 35 ratio tire I have, it fits just how i wanted it.
here is IS350drive's car, he has F-sports on. he has the recommended tire size (make sure and ask him, im not 100% sure).

Anyways im not an expert, but Id say go with the recomemnded tire size or even better a 265/35/19 tire (im not sure how easy are these to find, i couldnt find them on TOYO) but i think those will be perfect (again depending on your drop)
it all depends on how much are you dropped, or will be dropped.

I'll make a separate post soon about tire brands and choices. Thanks again, and I'll post pics once everything is installed!

Hey thanks juice! I got Tanabe Sustec Pro5's and will be installing them in spring, and will keep it at a similar height as your car as shown in your pics. So I'm leaning more towards 245/35/19 now because I don't want the overall circumference to change. Yes, the width of the rear rim is 9", so I think 245 will look good stretched a bit, and combine that with your ride height.

Ohhh man. if you have the tanabe coiovers, then you cant really go wrong. you can go strech, or beffy, no matter what, you can adjust height to perfection.
from what ive seen, the offset on these fsport wheels is very flush, depending on how strech you go, you might be able to fit a 5mm spacers on the rear if you are looking for even more agressiveness.
the problem is that they dont sell 5mm spacers for the IS that are like the Ichiba version 2, s you might have to do more work.
let us see how it turns out
