Nice looking wheels, very close to OEM except for the angled spokes. I don't agree with calling them concave, let's leave that term for a nice set of Advan RS, but still these Vossen look very nice. I don't think there will be a problem with custom colors, Vossen is so big that they can do whatever the customer asks.

I think these wheels look SICK! Given a gunmetal color, they would give it the stock look but much better. The only thing I would change is the offset in the rear. I'm NOT a fan of the wheel sticking out past the fender and the tire tucking in...

On another note, I emailed and PM'ed Vossen yesterday morning about buying some...haven't heard a peep yet.

i would think its a 3-piece wheel and they are considered concave cuz of the style AND the IS-F cant have much of a low offset...

another thing that Lexus should have considered with this car, widening the rear to fit a lower offset

I love them i had the car slammed at the time they used these rims for the shoot, they didnt rub but just had to be extra cautious on the downgrades.

I just got off the phone with Vossen...I'm pretty disappointed by what I heard. I was told:

These wheels don't work on the ISF. I don't even know why they posted them online. They will rub in the rear and there is not enough pad in the rear to do a less aggresive offset. I would not recommend them for the ISF...

Soooooooo, there you go, straight from Vossen...

^^^ You're right Peter, by the angle of those spokes in the rear wheel you can see that there is no padding left for changing the offset, maybe that's why BBS did it the way it is in our OEM wheels. More pad means an angle closer to 90 degrees, basically OEM looking.

Splat, did Vossen use spacers for the photoshoot?
