Sooo.... I'm going to be ordering 360 Forged Mesh 8 wheels. The order is actually in the works, I'm just trying to iron out some details. These wheels are FULLY customizeable and I believe I have everything down, except lip size for the rear.

What do you feel is the optimum lip size for a 19inch rear wheel? They max out at 3.5 but I think thats too big for a 19... I'm thinking 3inch or 2.75??? I don't really care for the 'look at me and my gumby gangsta huge 4 inch lip'! I want an aggressive but tastefull look.

What do you think? If you could share pics of your wheels/lip and post the lip size that would be PERFECT!!!! Anyone know what the lip size is of the F-Sport wheels? The rear lip on them looks pretty good without getting too crazy.

Here's a picture of the wheels I'll be ordering. Drooling is not allowed
3-5 weeks - an eternity!

3" lip looks good on the IS. What size did you get? 19x???

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. Yeah, I think I'll be the first IS on 360 Forged Wheels...

^ Looks like a good size lip. Do you ever at times wish you went bigger, like 3.5?

Go to the wheels section and buy the Mesh 8 that they are selling. You'll get them immediately. The guy selling them works for WheelsBoutique.

Or if you're spending that kind of money why not go HRE P40 monoblocks?

I don't think 3.5 will be too big at all, here is an example of a 3" on a IS-Fwith D2FORGED Wheels:



And this is a 4" Lip




That should give you an idea of lip sizes on the cars
