What do you guys think?
That looks very clean! Love it. How much was the install? Thanks.

Yep, that is the way it was intended to look a drive.

Had a friend of mine who owns a shop do it. $160 for the springs, $20 for the spacers. And then the alignment was $60. So $240 for everything.

Did not really like upgraded 20 spoke 19s from the factory.
They are a pain to clean also with so many spokes and too dark for my taste.
Plus, I also like the concave look.

Yeah, i know there is larger gap than stock rims but i will fix this when i get new set of tires.
These are almost 1/2 to 3/4" lower than stock.

Reason for the shorter height is that I am running lower profile 30 series vs stock 35.
This was actually taller tire than the stock 18" that came on the F Sport so it actually filled the gap with a lowered look.

In addition, the tire width from old IS is not as wide as the RC F.
Contrary, the ride is better on my 20s now possibly due to less rubber contact??

Just need to have the sensors reprogrammed to RC F now.
Will be installing my Apexi cat back and throttle controller next.
These wheels are very striking!

Thanks Omnikey!

Not sure why but no one seems to be running this style on the forums here or the IS forum also when I had these on my '14 F Sport.

Some vendors have been selling this on the forums.
I like the simple 5 spoke look and they are easy to clean unlike some other multispoke wheels.

They also give impression they are larger than 20" due to the fact the spokes run all the way out to the rim instead of some that run about 1/2" from the edge.

These are much more noticeable than the stock 19" I had.
I had originally considered the Vossen CV3 or CV5 but didn't want to break the budget.

I tossed in the new Apexi Power Intake Filter along with giving her a coat of wax. Its so damn cold in DC and we're covered in snow I havent driving the car in almost 2 weeks.

Thanks to Mod in Japan for prompt service and fast delivery. Josh and company are always great to deal with
