So the lessons of the day are that the 2008-2009 IS-F have Samurai inspired wheel blades that are supposed that help with cooling of the brakes....

- I would say the brake air ducts next to the fogs will do a better job at that!!

But its true they have 4 different part numbers for: FL, FR, RL & RR
Each part number is unique to its location..

Next Lesson of the day.. The 2010 US SPEC IS-F only has 2 part numbers for the wheels..

One for the Fronts & One for the Rears.

1) That cuts done on me finding more people installing their wheels backwards & dealership errors..

2) Lexus saves a ton of money on cutting down production of parts from 4 wheels to 2 wheels for the next few years..

It's a win ~ win if you ask me!!

But is brake cooling now decreased with out the Samurai Directional Bladed wheels..??!!
You be the judge....

Canadian MY10 ISF still has the '08, '09 style wheel. So your Lesson of the day, is sorta accurate.

we all learn something new every day huh???

 

Yes, but that would make it a very disappointing day if that's all I learned.

 

screw IS-F wheels....what else did the samurai inspire?

 

Wow I didn't even notice the blinkers till now - pretty cool! Of course that would mean we have to cut holes in our fenders!

 

Sweeeeet hahaha

 

They do nothing for me.

 

Is it just me or does the F badge in the 2nd / blue pic look non-3D, like it's painted on?

 

it is definately not the same as production becuase that is a prototype IS-F.
