Wheel Suggestions for IS-F
Hi Guys,
I've been considering some custom wheels for my starfire IS-F. First of all I think the stock BBS wheels look great, but I wanted something that'll allow me to run some wider tires. I know that there is a thread on wheels in the second gen IS forums, but the regular IS wheels don't necessary have the proper offsets to fit the IS-F. Plus, I don't want to make my IS-F look like a regular IS. This is where I'm asking for your suggestions that I may not have considered.
Post up the wheels that you guys think will preserve the "elite" look of the IS-F, have the proper offsets availible for the IS-F, and allow for at least 19x9.5 in the rear.

It's pretty hard to find decent information for wheels right now, since the car is still new. I've been hunting the wheels classified myself, but I have come to realize that the F is pretty tricky because of the wider wheelbase + the BBK. As such, your best bet is to go with a custom setup, which means that you can tell a vendor exactly the look you are going for, and they will build the proper wheels for you so you don't have to worry about offsets, widths, or clearance.
In terms of wheel choices, I'd go for 20s, because 19s already come stock. However, if your priority is to be unique from other ISX50s, then your best bet is to keep the stocks. Otherwise, any other IS can be fitted with whatever wheel you choose to purchase.

I'm also considering a custom set of wheels with a wider with for the F. I love the look of the stock BBS 19's but would like to have something a little wider to gain better traction.
Maybe we should start an official thread with the stock wheel offsets and pictures of other setup's people are running

Yeah, I love the BBS LM's as well as the new LM-R's. But unfortunately they don't appear to have the offsets and sizes that the IS-F requires...at least from what I found. If I'm wrong, please let me know where one maybe able to find some LM's in the right offsets and sizes.
