17s are the standard wheel on the 2IS in the US... (even the RWD 350s get 17s standard).
It's just that most cars folks actually buy get 18s via one of the many optional routes to getting em.
(canada has it even worse, their 250s get 16s standard!)

Dude. If your interested in IS350 AWD still there seems to be many at this dealership per autotrader anyway.
They have about 15 of them in stock?? Haven't verified but below is the link.

Found it searching for me an alternative (2011 ordered have to wait another 2-3months) RWD one. LOL...

I am also interested in the new IS 350 AWD but quite honestly I really don't like the 17" and am clueless why Lexus would allow the 350 with these ?? They're not attractive at all and right now may be a deal breaker !
For those wanting to see these 10 spokes 17's check Youtube and search IS 350 AWD there's a few clips of these that shows the wheels well.

Just a bit off topic but thought I would drop my 2cents about my recent car buy (2months ago)..
I went to 3 or 4 different Lexus dealers around the area..
None of them would wheel&Deal more than about $800 off the car sticker.
when I bought up their internet prices, they wouldn't drop more then 200-300$ off that price, some wouldn't drop anything off.
And trying to push for a better APR? Even with Tier-A Credit, not a chance..
Not really a buyers market around my area (Southern California)..
Had same issue with Honda and Acura as well.. BMW was more flexible though when I tested it on them. (still got a Lexus heh)

You're gonna have to pit dealerships against each other to get a decent price on the new 350 AWD. Try to find a high volume selling lexus dealership and deal with their internet sales specialist, you might be able to bring the price down to something you're more comfortable with.

and had a Honda dealer say "your not worth my time, get lost" - was the sales manager.. 2 weeks later got a call from a random sales rep asking if i was still interested.. and I was like "your sales manager told me to get lost, you think im interested?" and he was like "uhh...."

Hi all,
I'm new to the forums here is please bear with me...I am in the market for a new sport sedan. My current lease on my 2008 Acura TSX is coming due. I was planning on a BMW 335i x-drive due to the fact that winters in Ohio really suck. I didn't really have any other options until now, I see that Lexus is coming out with the IS 350 AWD.
I stopped by the closest Lexus dealer in Canton, Ohio and they have one coming in towards the end of September. It's the Smoky Granite Mica that has the heated seat package but not the navigation system which I am actually ok with.
They say the MSRP on it will be $42,325 and they will probably not come down a whole lot off that price due to the slight body style change and the AWD feature. While this is still less that an equally equipped 335i I can't imagine they would not be willing to deal on someone who is ready to buy.
Please forgive me if there is a particular forum for this but I was wondering, how much do you all think I can talk them down off the MSRP? I am considering telling them if they knock $3,000 off that price I will buy it then and there. If not, I can walk as I still do have some time on my Acura lease and I can still play the "shopping at BMW" card. Although for what it's worth, I like the looks inside and out of the IS 350 more than the current generation 335i. I considered the 535i x-drive but that is now out of what I am willing to spend.
One last thing, I cannot find any pictures of the new 17" 10 spoke wheels that will be on the new 350 AWD on Lexus website. On the main 2011 Lexus IS thread I saw some pictures posted from the IS 250 at a dealership, are those the same ones that will be found on the 350 AWD?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Rockville, MD and the above VA dealer have tons of AWD on their lots per autotrader.com so give them a call I'm sure they will deal with you.
Lindsey Lexus and salesman was Abdul somthing who I dealt with when looking for a RED rwd model.
