I have this nasty habit of treating myself to a second and largely unnecessary set of wheels for my vehicles. I fell hard for the silver Enkeis on Infrared used when they first announced the car. How will they look on Molten Pearl? Only one way to find out!

I’d like to run a square setup for my winter tires. Anyone have thoughts on ordering 4 front wheels of the black Enkei? Would only be 400 more than the BBS non factory ones im looking at.

I'm running four squares right now with Pirelli PS7 tires. Such an improvement in the ride quality and quietness!!

I do miss those. I had an IS 350 with those wheels before, and they were one of my favorite things about the looks of the car.

The dark Enkeis are a good blend of the sport and lux.
Agree the silver Enkei wheels on infrared is one of the best looks. I initially wanted USB, ended up settling for an Infrared when it was hard to get these. Regretting that choice less every day that goes by. Only sucky part is cleaning them.

Yeah man, that ‘Come Eff Me’ red is freaking s-m-o-k-e’n! Almost as much as the USB. ::joking laugh:: 😜😉

Seriously…the wheels are becoming more of a pain to clean! Compared to my 2016 they’re easy-peasy, but wash after wash the memory of the 2016 is just that…a memory. 😂

I was really close to getting a square set of OEM enkei for winter but ended up getting Braelin BR10. Not quite as nice as the enkeis but close enough, for over 1k CAD less. Should do the trick for winter at the very least.

south of Houston, but the IS 500 barely ever gets out so you won't see me around I'm sure. Barely over 3k miles in the >1yr I've had it.

Default 2022 silver Enkei wheels

If anyone has the 2022 IS500 silver Enkei wheels and wants to sell or trade them let me know. I have new 2023 BBS and the IS350 black chrome wheels.

I asked your question not quite a year ago, and still no luck. The Silver Enkeis are the bomb. I called several dealers and had no luck finding a set. Likely that was also some fall out from the then remaining Covid grief as well. Happy Hunting!
