With an insane amount of brake dusts, why no design with fat lip (deep dish) and fewer spokes???

I have to agree with most people thus far, i'm not really feeling them although I'd like to see them in person before saying they're horrible

That may be exactly their inspiration. I remember reading or hearing some Lexus press release or product info where Lexus said the original wheel blade design was inspired by samaurai swords.

If anyone steals the car at least they'll leave the rims behind since there won't be much of a "aftermarket" sale for them

my thoughts exactly. a deep dish gives an elegant appeal, but this spider setup simply takes away from the high performance luxury that is the IS F IMO.

Will they ever make a stock rim with a nice lip? Not a fan of the new ones. Or any stock rim for that matter.

Close as they have come to nice lip is the F-Sport wheels, assuming you like the dull finish (great for hiding excess brake dust).

I love it. I think it's one of the most unique looking OEM wheels lexus has made thus far.

All it needs is a nice drop and some spacers and half of you guys will be complimenting the first guy to do it lol..

It's funny how forums work! Everyone jumps on the band wagon of opinions all the time.

If anyone buys a 2010 and doesn't want these.. shoot me a PM ASAP!

Are there degrees to unique? I thought it meant one of a kind. How can something be "more" or "less" one of a kind?

...All it needs is a nice drop and some spacers and half of you guys will be complimenting the first guy to do it...

No, I'll be wondering what other performance destroying mods are going to happen next, but that's nothing new.

The only way I'd rock these is if they were magnesium. At least they'd be light. Otherwise, I wouldn't run them on my dog's lawnmower.
