I like the design of the wheels as well. I wonder how much they weight compare to stock split spokes.
I might also have to look into a tire repair system so I can save some extra weight by taking the spare out.

I work for TMS at the port in Jacksonville. Yes, that is the new rim. We have yet to see any at the port yet, except we have received the special badging.
It appears I am only a few mods away from having my own special edition Just missing brakes, floor mats, badging, grille, and the new rim. Good times!

Interesting that they only made 100 units....

I guess its one way to clear out some of the F-Sport overstocked parts..

In my opinion, these look like they will be built and badged at the Ports.

Looking forward to the outcome..

Seems the public enjoyed the 3 IS-C's built for SEMA, which have also been traveling to various Auto Shows & LFA Press events

i love the new f sport rims, but for some reason i think its getting too close to the IS F. i might just be crazy but i think lexus is introducing too many special versions just to make money. there was the "neiman marcus" edition for the IS F and now a special edition for the IS C also?!
