The silvers are my favorite factory wheel for the IS, so I'm glad I have them and won't ever be selling. It's the one advantage of having the first year IS 500. Makes me glad I took the plunge early. But good luck with your search, maybe somebody will fumble a set

^^ I have a set at home that I wasn't gonna sell initially but seeing I am not going to use them, I would be ready to part with them but the problem I live in Canada and shipping these is just insane...

Looks great. I have this exact color 500 and swapped the BBS with these. Still like the 2022 Enkeis a little better though.

It looks like they are about $575 with tax and discount new from the parts departments.

Default Cleaning the Wheels

To those with the dark enkei wheels, are they easier to clean than matte black wheels? Do they stay cleaner better than the BBS wheels? What is the texture like?

^^ I don't have the darker version but I have a set of the lighter version that came out in 2022. The finish is easier to clean as it is a painted wheel (with a clear coat on top) versus a matt finish but the one thing I didn't like was that the spoke pattern is fairly tight and cleaning them was a bit more work. You can use various flexible brushes and such, but that is one of the reason I swapped them for the OEM wheels from the IS 350 (Canadian version is different than US version)

I have a dent in one and can't find the touch up paint in Canada. I found it in US but checking to see if they'll ship here.

If anyone is interested the code is 11GY45.
