Haha, not at all! I just think it would be different on an F and would look good due to the body stance of the car (lower in the front than the rear)

Hey Gary,

Its the same S5:F model they debuted @ SEMA 2007 / Five AD wheel launch

The ones on Project IS-F are 20"s and finished in Matte Bronze..
Also offsets are custom.

The ones on my ride are 19"s and finished in Matte Gunmetal with agressive 30mm offset in the front and 35mm in the rears..

Those are dope wheels, and would look so sick on an F because of the open spoke pattern and how it would highlight the cross drilled rotors and huge Brembos! They also look easier to clean and would hide the magic dust!

^^ You guys are Great... Thanks!!!

I’m scheduled for a major overhaul shortly and I might consider tint..
But honestly, I dig the "no tint mod"..
