Can anyone confirm what the stock offset is? I got 19 x 8.5 / 19 x 9.5, 5x114.3

Is anyone good in Photoshop and willing to color the stock wheels black?

Confirmed this is the set up on ALL - F Sport Wheels on IS 500

Front Tire: Bridgestone Potenza S001L P235/40YR19
Rear Tire: Bridgestone Potenza S001L P265/35YR19
Front Wheel Size: 19 X 8.5, 5 X 4.5 (5 X 114.3), +45mm
Rear Wheel Size: 19 X 9.5, 5 X 4.5 (5 X 114.3), +60mm
Center Bore: 60.1 mm

I have already seen the Black BBS wheels stamped 45 & 60.

The Enkei wheels will likely have the same stampings in the inside of hub mounting area.

Front BBS

Rear BBS

Sorry, I may have missed this in earlier posts, but are the OEM wheels on our 350 different from those in the US? The wheels on our 350 are just stunning with that darker, gun metallic finish. Just adds to the aggressive stance of the car. I've seen the Enkei wheels in person on a 500, and I will definitely buy a set of OEM 350 wheels . I'll keep the Enkei's with the winter tires.

- I am seriously considering doing that and likely try to see if someone wants the Enkei wheels. Mind you, I need to see them in person, I know you have but MAYBE I will like them on the white car....stay tuned

Compared to the base, I can see why the Enkei look better but compared to our F Sport wheels, the Enkei may not be as nice....

Not me, just commenting to say it's pretty awesome that several of these have popped up in the ATL area.

Indeed. Maybe it's Carolina50's. In fact, you and Carolina are the only girls I know that have an IS500. You two should go get your nails done and talk about your IS500 sometime.
