Man, you guys are harsh. I wouldn't pay $2300 for ISF wheels, but there's no doubt that they are quality. BBS doesn't come cheap.

If those are the same ones posted on another thread then I think the buyer did get a good deal because that price included a set of tires that only had 500 miles.

I don't think so... just because the wheels are nice doesn't really mean they want to make thier IS to be like ISF. I want these wheels more than any aftermarket ones.

I think that was OEM wheels and tires together for $2300 and you aren't even going to come close to buying nineteen inch forged BBS wheels, especially those exclusive Lexus wheels, for that money. If somebody wanted those wheels, then that is certainly a deal.

$2300 is not a ripoff price, that was a package deal!! you go to a wheel store buy any 19"s no matter what brand, with tires will cost you about the same or more. of course if you wanna put konic on your car that's another issue. lol

Thank you. This is what I was trying to say before someone came and started talking about msrp. Yes, I would not pay 7k for these wheels, but 2k for wheels plus tires I thought was a great deal for someone looking for these wheels

In terms of quality it seems doubtful you can get a better set of wheels for 2300 so it doesn't seem like a terrible deal as long as they wheels are in good condition.

Well. No it was not the PS2s. The tires were the Brodgestones Potenza RE050A. This is the second standard tire on the F. IMO, now where near as good as the PS2s, but the wheel/tire combo was still an excellent deal non the less.

New PS2s are $1656.28 from the Tire Rack before install. New IS-F wheels are $1236 + $72 shipping. Whomever bought that set might have got a really killer deal if everything is in excellent condition.

$2300 is an amazing package deal. Congrats to the winner of that auction. Although I'm hesitant to actually use them on a 350.

Why hesitant on a 350?



I like mine. I just have really bad luck with them and rocks.
