Congrats on your new wheels. SAVINI has a good product. The style is up to personal preference, so as long as your satisfied, then !!

My question is about the specs. Those are very conservative fitments for a "F". Did you want the wheels / tires to be more narrow for a specific reason? Or did the shop just build them that way?

Just asking for a point of reference.

Enjoy the new rollers!

Rims looks good, I personally wouldn't go with that style for the F. I like the stock rims...I would have pushed the $5k in performance mods.

Reminds me of Element 114 rims.

Hey D2,

The shop suggested that size fitment because I did not want to get into having to roll the fenders. I also wanted to achieve a more staggered look. As it is, the rear tire just barely hits the fender if I hit a hard dip in the road.

Robs,
I'm in Pembroke Pines

Looks too blingy for an F honestly.

If you like them, then that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Not a popular choice based on feedback. I like the look. As for "too much bling", not for long with this breakdust.

NOPE - NOT ONE SINGLE IOTA.

with such a car, you should go with something that evokes speed, performance, power and not BLING!.

while a very hot car, the IS-F is not a BLING car but rather a performance ride.

Waaay to blinggy for an IS-F.
IMHO, monoblock lightweight forged wheels is the only way to go on the F ! (or just keep the stock wheels !)

My preference was for something sporty/elegant. To each his own.

dont sweat it bro when i post pics of my car i have ppl that love it and i have ppl that are a-holes and just cant go back or go to the next thread n have to waste their time bashing it.. car looks good. something different than what 75% of the ppl on the forum would do but like i say "If you want to pay for all my mods then feel free to do so" i honestly think the wheels look good but they arent made for the F. but props for being different. just do me a favor... lower that bish! LOL
