cant seem to find it 
I say if you arent going to have the fasteners between each spoke (and 3-4 instead of two where they are at now) then go blind bolt which doesnt show the fasteners

Ah, fasteners, not rivers - gotcha.
Yeah, I'm not so crazy about fasteners laced throughout the entire wheel... ala D2Forged VS1. I really like the 'less is more' approach with 2 fasteners per each "Y" spoke for a Mesh 8 design. But thanks for the input, I'll take as much as I can get.
Anyone else - what do you prefer with or without fasteners?

here's one more with:
one thing to note too, is these are little black dots put on the wheels in photoshop. in actuallity, the fasteners would be stainless steel.
anyway, MORE INPUT please!!!

Rob- you didnt' come accross as a smartass at all, sall good my man
- I'm leaning towards with the fasteners because I feel it gives the wheel a more sporty/aggressive look... but I still want input! Whatcha think?
Clean / Pure - without fastners
Sporty / Aggressive - with fasteners
whatcha think?

Yeah, I did my research on 360 Forged. Previous ownership had issues. Forged Distributing took over and looks to be making all things right. Turnaround is absolutley promised to be 3-5 weeks or immediate refund. I've been talking to people 'in the know' and feel confident that I'll get my wheels in that time frame.
I'm pretty sure I'm just going to stay 19x8.5 & 19x9.5. I wanted to go wider for better cornering, but really now realizing that the IS350 isn't a track car, if anything a drag/straight line car. For that I'm choosing to keep weight down and not going with huge wide wheels.
More thoughts on the lip size would be helpfull, thanks.

Thanks for the coments. More is always apprecaited on the fasteners vs. no fasteners look.
My thoughts - so far - is the blind/ non fastener look is super elegent and clean. But perhaps a bit too 'pure' looking for me. I think I like the extra sporty touch the fasteners give.
I'm NOT doing them just so people see I have a 3 piece wheel, strictly doing it for looks... and SO FAR, I think I like the fasteners look, a little more sporty, a little more aggressive...
