I've seen them a handful of times, as you need to get the Dynamic Handling Package/F Sport Handling Package to make them an option. Most IS 350's I have seen have had the dark-chrome wheels.

Gotcha! That makes sense then. Up here in Canada, it’s a bit different as we have the base f-sport 2 model which is standard. Upgrading to f-sport 3 gets you things like the bbs, AVS, triple LED, ML and 360 cameras, etc.

Also, do you know which packages came with the carbon fibre trunk spoiler in the US?

They are very rare on the IS350. I think I've only seen it one time.

Word of caution on the factory wheels, use the softest method to wash them. I recommend like a microfiber mitt/towels or something. I washed mine using the soft wheel brush and I have fine scratches on them now. Not a huge deal as from 3 feet away you can't tell and I will swap them eventually, but just keep that in mind.

If I had the factory black chrome wheels, the first thing that I'd do is ceramic coat them. This protects them a little and makes them considerably easier to clean.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I have a problem. I stopped randomly at night to take photos of the car.

So that song by Diana Ross, Love Hangover, just popped into my head.

“If there’s a cure for this, I don’t want it.” 😂👏🏽👍🏽

Still one of my favourite things about this car. Definitely would’ve bought an aftermarket spoiler similar to this so I’m glad Lexus included it from factory.

Sounds like the quote "If Loving You Is Wrong, I don't want to be right."

First step is to know you have a problem. The next step is to take pictures.
