Default F wheels....

Hey guys. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.


I decided over the weekend to put my stock F wheels on my is300.


Wanted to get your guys thoughts. I really like them.

Looks good. Then again, one of my favorite things about the 1is is that pretty much any wheels look good on it

Never been a fan of the flying W wheels. Not bad on the IS300, but still not my favorites.

I tried the same on mine, I just thought 19" are just way too big for it.

I agree.. As much as I like the 2012+ wheels, I think they look a bit too big on the IS300.

Yea you got some meaty tires on there 225/40. I don't think that look bad. Its also my dd and I wasn't happy with the iforged flux wheels I had. They were polished and I don't have the time to polish them every other day.

It's my daily too, I just wanted to see if I could put the F wheels to use. And I agree, I'd have to put smaller tires

The offsets are so perfect though, only if they were 18s!

Yours look good though.

Thanks. I had a ton of wheel gap with the 18's even on big tires. Just wasn't a fan. I like the flush look. Sometimes when I do look at it I think they are too big. Just depends on the angle. Im satisfied for now as I didn't have to pay extra for these wheels and I can self my two piece.

Wonder how many people here have been in a Pinto or even know what it is

I test drove a MKII supra the other day ( my brother is looking for a parts car...) Couldn't believe how slow it seemed compared to today's cars. Back in the day it was a nice ride...

Looks aggressive.....but like others have said, it looks a bit big for the car. Personally I think 18's would be perfect since the car is looks smaller.
