^That's just protection from shipping that will be removed before sale.

That F looks like it's riding extra high, maybe it's the way the wheels look on the car. They're not my favorite but they're not horrible either imo

Car is probably riding hi with shipping spacers in the springs. They do this to give low cars a higher ride height to get them on and off the boats at port, etc.

Definitely not a fan. If they were more of a traditional mesh style BBS is known for...then we might have a winner.

Every Lexus comes this way prior to arriving to your dealerships doorstep.

This was what my '09 IS F looked like when it was just delivered...just like the '10 USB in the pic...

it would be interesting to see how many choose the '10 F over the 08 or 09 with the different wheel setup. the lsd alone may or may not convince many to purchase this over the prior model. i dont necessarily hate the new rims, but from a car enthusiast perspective, rims need a major upgrade. the samurai sword look was clearly sexy and very enticing on the eyes, something that these new wheels truly failed at.

I am not a fan of the new wheels. Lexus should have given the option on the 08-09 wheels. As Flip mentioned earlier a traditional BBS mesh style would make a difference.

Pros and cons on the 2010 ISF

Pros:
1)Torsen LSD
2)HD NAV system with live traffic

Cons:
1) Ugly new wheels

So the pro's in my book out weight the cons. If I am able to get an 2010, I will just have to trade the wheels for some 08-09's instead

The wheels are a big mistake IMHO (and I am not so humble)!

i dunno, it's 4 ugly wheels, so i'd argue it's 4 negatives and that they physically do weigh more!

i was able to get an extra set of wheels, i'm sure you can too!

Those wheels don't look absolutely hideous, but also dont go along with the car
