That was just a prototype center cap prior to the release of the final "F Sport" logo. That center cap is not available anywhere.

Here's some pics I took back at SEMA 2007 when the F Sport line was unveiled.

This is the same silver F-Sport IS you see in the F-Sport brochures and on the website:

wheels are accessories. certainly necessary, but you can take a set of wheels off and put on another set. as such, they're "interchangeable" given the same bolt pattern and specs - thus, they're "accessories". being that, they have to match what "style" you're going for. otherwise, you'll have a clash of styles, and something will simply look out of place.

the work wheels are more classy and would look out of place on a plain-jane 2is. on the other hand, the f-sport wheels look more sporty and would not look out of place on a plain-jane 2is. that, and if you're looking to outfit your car with the entire f-sport catalog, going with the f-sport wheels would make more sense.

if you're considering the work wheels, i hope you have more planned for your 2is than an f-sport intake and a bunch of f-sport badges. otherwise, it'll simply look out of place. btw, when i use the word "planned", i mean realistically planned, not just "i want this and that" planned.

mind you (and everyone else), the work wheels are very nice and classy, but if you don't get what i'm saying take look @ dappy's pic of SeOuLiS250's 2is. that's no plain-jane 2is if you ask me. now, take those rims and slap them on a stock 2is, and imagine what they would look like.

look wise,,Work SC1 hands down for sure (I'm little biased..lol)
BUT, like projectdna mentioned,
it will look out of place if you don't have other necessary accessories to compliment the rims
just dropping the car on the SC1s with stock bodykit will make it look little off IMO
if you plan to get bodykits and stuff, then definitely go with SC1
if you want to keep the stock bodykit or even add GFX, then I'll go with F-Sport

but I thought you already bought the bodykits

F-sport is not a bad looking wheel. The SC1 is a hot looking wheel though... I personally would go with the f-sport cause i wouldn't be too upset if they ever get curb rashes or anything like that to the wheels (bound to happen especially if its your daily driving car).

If you go with the SC1, make sure u go as low as u can on the car to enhance the look.
