I like it. Still think my wheels are the best factory option for an f, but i liked the new setup. here are some pics i took real quick


The more I see this color, the more glad that I picked it.

USB is just very eye-catching and IMHO stunning.

The white interior is also very unique and ultra-cool.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with the wheel issue here in the GWN, cause I would consider this a deal-breaker for me.

As in, if I was force-fed these new wheels...I would terminate the order and get the C63 or pony up for an X6M. Those samurai-blade design is one of the things that makes the IS-F unique and IMO the best wheel design in the biz.

Cool Static Fashion > Dynamic Function? NOT!

Funny how people judge wheels on static looks but ignore dynamic performance traits like weight, strength, concentricity.......

Most wheels look pretty much the same once they are in use and rotating on the axle hub of a car in motion.

Bet the BBS are forged and the stock are cast?

USB is a stunning color, and the two toned interior gives it a nice touch. as for the wheels, most people will probably only get to look at them when the car is at a stop. the new bbm's look fine to me, even though initially i wasnt liking them too much compared to the originals for the 08-09 F.

It seems that 9 out of 10 people on this forum do not like this new wheel design. Hope Lexus is listening to this complants.

I most definitely agree that Americans should have been given the choices. I just recently swapped my rims to my winter set up ( five axis rims) and I felt that I was not getting the attention on the road as much with the BBS rims. I actually passed by Brooklyn Park yesterday. Do you really need an IS f? LOL

Why lexus, whhhhyyyyyy???????

I really wanna know, is it cause they think people will now fork over an extra 4Gs for the old ones? (they still an option, just not standard)

or does someone in Lexus actually think this looks good?
