We all know the bad stories about 360 Forged, and even if they promise me full refund after 5 weeks of waiting, I wouldn't do it. There are so many 3-piece wheels brands out there, and most of them at around the same price and quality, that taking the risk is not worth it.

By the way, most of these brands are located down in Miami, including 360 Forged, and WheelsBoutique, which is a big wheel's retailer, doesn't even want to mention the name 360 Forged, they had their share of problems as well (last time I was there was 2 or 3 weeks ago).

The HRE monoblocks are beautiful, but not for an IS.

Now that I remember, I think there is a guy selling these same wheels (used but in mint condition) on the classified section.

^^hmmm can someone approve of this measurement if this would actually count as 4.75 measurement with steplips. It only seems like a 4" steplip

it's definitely over 4" steplip. and a tiny bit less than 4.75" overall.

lol why is this so hard to believe? its a 19x10 wheel with +24 offset with a 245/35/19 stretch so you really can't see the tire in the picture with the ruler

No pictures of these wheels on an IS, but to give you an idea of what I'm in for, these will have to do:









Will be first ISx50 to have em!
To all those that 'cautioned' me, I appreciate it. I really do. I've done my research though and spoke with numerous people and I'm sure I'll be more then taken care of. Was even given an updated 3-4 weeks ETA, schaweeet!
Also I'm paying with a CC so I'll be protected. - No quite all the hatin!

And to answer he question as to 'why' I'm going 360 Forged - simply because this isthe most beautiful take on a 'Mesh 8' style wheel. IMO - the best mesh I've ever seen and I'm a mesh junky!

I think the guys with latest Linea Corsa wheels on ISx50's have 4" lips, seems to look pretty good.
