Those are BBS wheels that come with the IS350 DHP and the IS500 LE models.
I had found that company which claimed to sell OEM and OEM-style wheels and I was wondering if anyone here had dealt with them before. It seems nobody here has. Therefore, I don't know how legitimate their wheels are since they're using stock photos vs photos of their actual offerings.
I bought this set from Detroit Wheel & Tire and at the time, they only had one set. They told me that they were a trade in, but had been used. I will take pictures of the inside when I get them back from having winter tires mounted on them. One thing I asked was that they were indeed the OEM wheels and they said "yes, the ones made by BBS". Earliest I will be able to take pictures is on Friday.
i have a 2015 is350 fsport AWD
i was able to get TE37SL's but in F: 18x9 + 45 and R: 18x9.5 + 40.
I also have Michelin Powersport 4S in 235/40 and 265/35.
I am lowered only in the front on RSR Downs.
Will H&R 15mm F and 5mm R spacers work? Or should I do 10mm F and no spacer rear?
Looking through the thread I am now starting to look at wheels for the future. I am wanting to stay at stock height and stock wheel sizes besides offset. The 2 of the 3 sets I like have the sizing of 19x8.5 +37 front and 19x9.5 +44 or +38 for the rear. The last set offers 19x8.5 +35 front and 19x9.5 +38 or +45 for the rear. I am not wanting poke just to flush the wheels to the fenders and possibly change the looks slightly. My gut tells me the fronts should fit fine and the rear at +44 or +45 would fit and not poke like a +38 possibly could. Any help or guidance if my thinking is possibly way off or spot on I would greatly appreciate the input

The flushest fitment of the sets you indicated would be 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +38.
At stock height you'd be fine. You can even go a little lower on the front offset to +30 if you want.
Is this wheel spec flush for 17 IS350? if so, what tire size would you recommend for 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +38? I am lowered on coils and looking at emotions with that same spec.
Thanks!
Just got these 9six9 Volk Te 37 reps. I went with a square setup after talking to Sasnuke. 18x8.5+35 all around. I think it looks nice and am thinking about dropping on some downs on the summer.
What was the tire size for this setup? I apologize if i missed it!

Seeing as how the stock rear wheels are also 18x8.5 I'm guessing they're running the stock rear tire size all around... judging from the looks - 255/35/18.
Looking for some quick advice, bent 4 Stance SF07 wheels the last few months, thought they we stronger but apparently now. Looking for stronger daily wheels, considering Forgestar, Wedssport and Vossen. All 3 "flowforged", which is between cast and fully forged wheels in terms of price and supposed durability. I dont track or drive too hard just need daily wheels that wont bend. Thought on these brands or others?
Our laws here prohibit us to modify to larger wheels, we can only stick to 17" if we need to pass the annual vehicle check,
stock spec: 17", 7.5J ET45, tires: 225/45/17
may I know the best spec of RAYS wheels at 17" that would perfectly fit our 3IS??
As we are not allowed to make them look bigger, then I would prefer they to become more LIGHTWEIGHT.
My current wheels are RAYS CE28N 18", by law I have to downgrade them back to 17" from this year onwards...
specs: Konig Hypergram flow formed | front axle : 18x8.5 5-114.30 +35 | rear axle : 18x9.5 5-114.30 +35 | tires : Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 245/40/18 F and 285/35/18 R | modifications for fitment : FRONT - heatgunned and reshaped front inner liners since there was only rubbing on front inner liner on 3/4 wheel turn, does not rub anymore. REAR - since profile is 35 and not 30 (thanks michelin) the rears rubbed like hell so i had the fenders pulled (almost discovered the hard way that you can't roll the fenders, lol) and had the bumper clip filed down for better fitment. I still have to grind down a bit more, but now it's only on bigger bumps I rub. I can do hard turns without rubbing so long as there aren't any bumps. will be doing a set of coilovers (probably the rsr active coils????) as soon as i pay for my tuition... maybe. | comments: drives just fine, the setup is AWD friendly (<1% difference in tire diameter), influences oversteer instead of understeer now. if i have time i'll be taking this car to autox this weekend so i will update on how much better (or worse!) it performs than stock.
UPDATE!! well due to bad weather this week I didn't really want to take it out on a track/AX day so instead I did some spirited driving around my local canyons and backroads during the flash floods. As I stated before, the change in tire sizes made it go from influencing understeer to oversteer. With the upgrade from the BRI Turanza EL400-02s to the PS4S, even when driving on the wet canyon roads the tires inspired confidence throughout most turns. Oversteer was easy to manage as the tires casually let you know that you were going to start to oversteer (typically at apex) so it was easy to fix. However, on the super long sweeping turns it was a bit harder to manage since my front tires are taller, so steering was even more vague than expected from the PS4S. When the flash floods stopped and the roads dried up, driving was really easy. One thing I did notice was in combination turns I rub like hell lol. Other than that rubbing was fairly benign besides when the occasional bad canyon road quality section comes up.
