These are the Enkeis from the 2022 MY. I was able to source 2 rears from ebay for 400 each and a buddy who works at Lexus hooked me up with 2 fronts new with his discount (they had 2 left in their warehouse for the 2022 MY). Total costs came out to around 1900. A lot of money for winter wheels I know but I wanted to keep a stock look year round.

Tire sizes are TBD.

I was looking for stock wheels asked the dealer if they had any takeoffs from new cars but they did not have any. So I ordered from Discount Tire

Specs and cost on the winter set

Decided not be lazy today and install my LEMS intake myself. I really would’ve liked the tri color gradient but this will do.

I actually was trying to get that but Mod In Japan, My Japan Direct and Top End Motorsports all had the tricolor on back order 4-6 weeks. So I just settled with blue gradient.

I considered the same. But, like you, I couldn't find anything that matched the fender emblems. But even then, none of the "f sport" badging really caught my eye.

Looks nice and clean for sure but I want people to know this isn't your normal IS. I'll probably do it in the future.
