How about you?

I think you should get these wheels and step up and buy an IS-F already.

Front 20×8.5 with 43mm offset.
Rear 20×9.5 with 45mm offset.

when i was doing my springs i notice that they are almost not even needing to be rolled they dont stick out. kinda pre factory rolled

LOL. Well the car was only available for sale about 11 months ago (Feb 2008). So technically only 9 months to contemplate getting one. Ordered it last month and got it only 3 weeks later on 12/12/08 for the 09.

Those don't look that great. But actually the offsets are not as bad as it looks on paper, since that set up is wider than stock.

I was under the impression that LM's could not be put on IS-F due to the offsets up until now?
