Those are nice rims, what kind of finish do they come in besides the picture shown in this tread? And what is the weight per each rim in 20's?

I am not normally a hater, but theres a little too much love.. 20" rims for $2k-ish aren't the best replacement for a $60k F that comes stock with BBS wheels.
They look pretty good, but I think are better suited for a non-high performance car. Theres so many nice wheels out there, spend some money on an actual UPGRADE, not just a cool look.

A bit bland and too simple for my taste. Just doesn't seem like it complements the car.

Looks like the rear fenders are at least rolled for sure. Curious on the tire size on the rear.

The new wheel looks hot! I haven't seen very many wheels I like on the IS F since it first came out, but I have to say this is one of my top favorites. You guys need a graphite version to match the F theme!

+1
I prefer more spokes, and on our car I think darker rims provide a more aggressive look.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments and the constructive criticism. We are very happy with how things came out with the CV3.

The CV1 comes with a +42 whereas the CV2 and CV3 come in a +45 so there is more room in the rear.
20x9 - +38 - 245-30-20
20x10.5 - +45 - 275-25-20
With that setup we have not heard of any issues.

Would you be able to share what requirements were needed to make those CV3's work?
Tire sizes, wheel sizes, fender mods...
Thanks.
As stated above. There were no fender mods done with the CV3 and the IS F.

Steve, the rims are
20x9 – 27lbs
20x10.5 – 28lbs
There are 3 finishes.
Matte Silver Machined
Matte Black Machined
Matte Graphite
Not an IS F but these IS's can give you an idea of what the other finishes are like.
Check out our gallery for more!
