This thread could be rephrased to remove the reference to ADV.1 and specifically the flowspec line, they were just a wheel company willing to do a custom offset run in a one peice (to keep costs down.) If there is enough interest, I will find something to make it work. The biggest thing I want is feedback to deliver a product that is wanted.
I do not think 305's are overkill, I want as much stability in the rear as possible.

This could still happen, PM MC3 Wheels. He partnered up with Forged DST (new owners of 360 forged and few other wheel companies) and hammer out some deals. They offer 3 piece concave wheels as well.

I can help you out if your still interested, but I would shift towards a monoblock forged wheel to build seamless fitments to achieve what your looking for.

I have contacted another wheel company that shares my same mindset and I like the products they have so far. I will be working on final offsets and hopefully have something soon.

FIGS to the rescue again. Thanx for always trying to keep the IS-F alive and well. It seems some people enjoy the stock look and feel of the F (which is fine). But some others would love to have as many options as most cars on the market. If we can get good quality parts and not over pay, I think there would be even more interest. There are just some companies out there that have POOR business ethics, and try and cut corners to save a buck, but then still charge way too much $. This tends to keep people away from new products on the market. FIGS has been around for some time, I have kept up with him since my IS300 back in the day. Keep it up, let us know if we can help at any time.

This sounds awesome. I wish this kind of work went into the IS350. I'd love a fat set up with perfect fitment.

Yeah I think it will be good. They will offer any finish on any piece including brushed and have two great concave styles that are reasonably priced I think.

They sent renderings and pics of their first sample so I am bound to non disclosure until they are released.
