It's kind of like VIP styling. Many are looking for the most cost effective route, rims that are inexpensive with weak fitments, just like Tork Wheels.

Please. You might want to attend more than one meet before you come in spouting off about a subject that you obviously know nothing about. You're more than welcome to offer your opinion on how you think the wheels look, but there's no need to use terms like "ricey" and "u can c them at a pep boys." One-piece, forged Volk Racing wheels are FAR from anything that could possibly be considered "rice."

Ok, back on topic now: Phillip - can you feel the difference in weight from your other set of HRE's when you drive the car?

Heh...I haven't really driven my car a lot Javy...haha...but I do notice that rear tires don't lift up when I go into a parking lot driveway...cuz the HRE's 19x10.5 with 295/30/19 tires seemed to do that....haha....the only way to know the difference is to bring both sets to the 1/4 mile and track!...haha

Well, first of all, he's modifying his car to enhance performance. Just because they don't have "lip" don't make the rims cheap or ricey. I'm sure the majority of IS-F owners (who appreciate practical performance) would love to have strong, light wheels over any other rims that have huge lip that weigh more than stock ones. I'm quite certain you love the bling look. There's always a place for that but not an IS-F.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I want FEATHER Light wheels on my IS-F. Loose the 20" bling, and head straight to the performance side of the world, where this car was meant to be!
