I like mine. I just have really bad luck with them and rocks.
Wow, looks sick! You do have a point. I just don't want to try too hard to look like an IS-F considering I already stole the tail lights and the rear spoiler from it.

The brakes are exactly what I mean as well. I would need the F-Sport brakes upgrade for those rims to fit, and those are not exactly budget-friendly to me right now.

because is-f wheels won't clear the stock is350 front calipers.

as you have f-sport bbk's, you obviously don't have that issue...

I was the seller.

However, the high bidder is in Australia and does not agree on the terms of sale we went over before I allowed him to bid - payment methods, shipping, etc. I know for some of you this is a high price, and some think it's a great deal. Certainly cheaper than the $3k+ that some other sellers are trying to get. And yes, they are as mint as the pictures show. But anyway, the set is still for sale for the same amount, if anyone is interested. Otherwise I'll be relisting them yet again... the first time the buyer backed out on me AFTER he found out they wouldn't fit his IS350 without a spacer.

Wow, sucks about the buyer backing out .... that was a great price for those wheels, and they looked to be in great condition too ...

Good luck with the sale!

I barely clear the f-sports with a 5mm spacer in the front. I forgot if you can fit with stock calipers with a spacer or not.

Not bigger, but thicker. Thicker also than the Brembos used on the F.

Relist them! I was out-bid in both auctions!

I don't understand the initial negativity. People must be getting great deals on crap wheels. Please post links for 19" rims and tires that fit the ISF and performs the same or better for less than $2k...

New tires that cost over $350-$450 each before installation and new rims that are sold by my local dealers are selling for $1700 EACH = fail. $2k for an almost new 4 wheel AND tire set is a good deal...

Especially when lightweight, perfect fit, legit rims and tires are just as pricey and were probably not designed to "act as fans to cool the brakes" (lol, i read that somewhere on a lexus publication)

Exclamation

I know I'm a little late to this party..!!

But your FRONT wheels are mounted backwards in this pic....

Other than that, they look great with the F-Sport BBK.

BTW - I am selling an authentic SGM IS-F spoiler, just in case you needed..
