Default IS 300 F Sport Wheels

My first post so please bear with me,

Yesterday I slipped on ice in my 2016 IS 300 F Sport and flew out on the raised shoulder of the highway, which caused my front and rear wheel too crack. I was hoping you guys can tell me the best place to purchase new OEM wheels. I tried junk yards, but they don't have this car. Dealer wants about $600 per wheel and was hoping I can save a few by purchasing online.

Got any pics of the crack?

Not a wheel expert, but maybe it could be repairable if not too severe.

Oh damn. I'm wondering how would one check for cracks/bent rims. I hit a pothole last night, and it left a scratch on the rim. (Cannot be certain it this was the cause for the scratch).

Good luck searching. I messed up the rear on the my 14 is350 f sport. Same story from the dealer. It took alot of searching but I was able to get a refurbished one for $345 including shipping. I ended up getting it from Factory Wheel Warehouse. They have an ebay store and a website. The other thing you have to be careful of is that it is apparently an incredibly hard color to match. The guy there warned me but told me if the match wasn't close enough I could return it for a full refund if it wasn't mounted. The match ended up being almost perfect though, so I was lucky and happy with it.

Thanks for letting me know. I think the safest for me is to just take the hit on the dealer price.

Craigslist/ Offer Up / Let Go!

A lot of people are on those sites/apps are selling four f-sport wheels for about $600-$850. You should be able to find a set no problem at an affordable price.

Good luck and let us know what you find!
