Lol. I hear you. I keep checking my tracking details waiting for an update. I don't think they'll be delivered today. Probably tomorrow. Hopefully have them mounted by Friday evening. I'll post pics and maybe a video of them too.

Whomever orders these and mounts them on an IS350, please let us all know if they clear our larger calipers. Thanks!

I can't see why they wouldn't, unless Lexus decided to go with smaller calipers on the newer generations

Also, I see that prices have increased to $89.95

Went to Rock Auto's site and compared the calipers and pads on an 06 IS350 and 14 IS350
Both have the same part numbers

Not sure what's up with FedEx's tracking system. I went from a Friday delivery date to Wednesday then back to Friday. It took 11 hours to travel 15 miles this morning.

Hopefully I can get them mounted after work tomorrow and then I will be able to share pictures.

Just unboxed the wheels. They are very nice looking rims. Really like the Hyper Silver color. They fit on the 2IS just fine. Plenty of caliper clearance.

Not sure when I'll get them mounted. I found some flaws with my set. There were a few manufacturing blemishes. There's also some black corrosion material around all the lug nut seats. Not sure where that came from.

ballz50401.I'm sorry to hear that you aren't pleased.

After the shop was done I looked closely for blemishes/weird markings, and I'm pleased to say there were none that I could see (I'm very picky).
I like them. They certainly look smaller than the previous OEM split 5 spoke 18's that were on there before. I also like the flat, straight sides which compliment the straight flat edges on the car.
Overall for $69 bucks per wheel, you simply cannot go wrong. I mean, the cost to simply fix the lightly curbed stock wheels that were on there before would have easily been $200 per wheel (here in Canada).Considering they are OEM Lexus, I know I'll have years of trouble-free motoring with them

You obviously received a blemished set. I would complain loudly. Either return them on the seller's dime, or if they look OK to you, request remuneration. If it were me, I'd insist on another set.
