Interesting snippet but they still don't look right on the car imo. The ISF should have a sportier, open faced wheel imo. The stock wheels look too soft to me, like they should be on a big luxury-sport sedan...not a powerhouse sport sedan.

The wheels slice like a ninja, cut like a razorblade.

Actually found a link, another source though
http://www.wheels.ca/article/268900

It sits lower and much more aggressively on 19-inch wheels, whose sharp, twisting spokes were inspired by samurai swords, and its rear end is punctuated by four stacked exhaust pipes and a small rear spoiler.

Only if you get them from a dealer. If you don't want to pay dealer prices, click on this link. I make no claims for the site - it's just another option available for the same wheels at much cheaper prices.

In order to fit these wheels onto an IS250, will an IS250 need wheel spacers? The offsets on the IS-F wheels seem very conservative.

IS-F wheels will clear the IS 250 no issues. THe issue is the big brakes on the IS 350.
