Those wheels are smokin'! Congrats...I'm glad you swapped those stock wheels out...I absolutely hated the stock IS-F wheels; too plain for the car. However, your new wheels are a great pick! Looking good!

I would love those wheels for my 350. Can you get those wheels without the CF and with a red stripe? What sizes/offsets are available? Also, how much are they?

Thanks,
Koz

Do they make this wheel in a 6 or 7 spoke? While nice, the 5 spoke on this wheel doesn;t quite do it for me. Looks like it needs 1 or 2 more spoke to fill in the wheel. Just my 2 cents.

Nice ride nonetheless.

yup you can get them without the CF lip and you can do the stripe in whatever color you like. The black chrome/cf lip/stripe are all optional finishes PM D2 for a price quote

Hey, that is an awsome IS-F and I appreciate what you have done and doing and everybody has there own tastes.

So please, please don't take offence to this, but I don't really like the wheels. I guess this would have a lot to do with the differing trends here in Japan and US.
Again you have an awsome car.

It appears from the pics that you have no wheel locks.. You really might want to pick some up -- soon!

each wheel has a lock on it.. i used RAYS lug nuts so the grooved part is on the side of the lug instead of the front

Nice execution.

But am I the only one that thinks the CF overlay is a bit tacky?

Personally, I would have preferred a complete blue anodized outer lip. To each his (her) own.

For some reason I knew that you didn't overlook the locks...

And I think the CF wheels are perfect and are consistent with the look of the other mods on the car -- e.g. black pearl, CF license plate frame..
