Yes, they are a direct bolt in. I swapped mine over while mounting tires. I put all the sensors back in their original location they came off the car. LF to LF, RR to RR etc.

No TPMS lights or any non sense. I love the wheels, although Lexus center caps are a must, I had a guy in traffic today ask me what kind of car I was driving because he thought it was a hyundai. :thumbdn:

^Thanks for the info!

Now here's a little teaser after weeks of work put into fixing the curb rash, primer, Duplicolor hyper silver paint and clear, and a cut and buff :

Not too bad for my first DIY wheel painting job in a garage! Took my time, did everything by the book; probably have 20+ hrs into them. But the fact that it was a DIY job, it only cost me ~$50 in paint/primer/sand paper. Already had the Acetone.

Oh, and I almost forgot; below are the pics from my DIY Lexus ES300 center cap mods for the Track wheels.

Here's a shot from the top of the cap :

Here's a shot of the "extra" plastic on the base of the cap one will need to shave off in order to make the caps sit flush against the wheels :

Lastly, here's a shot of the tabs where one will have to mod in order get the caps to fit securely into the center bore on the Track wheels :

Your rims look much better now compared to the condition that you received them in!

iNfectious 05-25-14 09:09 PM

Looks GREAT! Makes me want to get a set!

Looking forward to pics Gville350. That is one sick looking set of OEM wheels?

SubieChik 06-25-14 04:48 AM

I haven't seen these on a 2IS....I think they look great!

FSportIS 06-25-14 03:19 PM

These look very nice man! Good work on cleaning, painting and all that. Woo hoo, time to test them on track :D

I am looking for a set my self now but all anyone is selling is the 18's not 19's

So last night I temporary installed two wheels to see what they will look like on my car plus figure out what my clearances might be on the rear wells. The fronts I'll not be too worried about, I know I'll end up needing to do the bumper tab and I'm currently not running any liners. So no problems there. The rear though I had to see it for myself just how much room I really had under compression. Looks like I'll be sticking with my initial thoughts of running a 245/35 tire. Fronts will be 225/35s. Here's some pics I took; enjoy!

Fully uncompressed :

Side-profile shots (no rear spacer) :

FULLY compressed via the LCA :

As you can see, I've got a finger's width of room from just the picture; and that's without the wheel being truly 100% compressed. So actually I'll have MORE room when compressed more during cornering. :)

Can't decide if I want to keep the rake. Or sit on rear rim

TophersToy 07-21-14 09:52 AM

Looks Sick! Keep the rake.. nice even wheel gap on both ends.
I am definitely putting these rims on my to-do list

^^Looking good Sceanzo! I just placed my order for the rear two tires today, so I might have my "Tracks" on this weekend!

I guess we'll see if you're a happy camper or not when next Monday rolls around. :D
