Default Forged F Sport wheels

I'm looking to replace the standard RWD F sport wheels to a lighter OEM wheels. RCF and GSF wheels come to mind but ran into the forged F sport wheels. Does anyone have more pics of them on our car preferably on NGP? I was only able to find these

Where are you getting the wheels from? I also thinking of getting a set for a new look.

I am thinking of ordering these for my 13 gs350 fsport awd. Would it be possible to install four rear wheels or do a staggered setup since I'm awd?

I just installed a set of these and I am liking them a lot. 19x9 -40 all around and the fitment is perfect. Tires are Michelin PS4S 245/40/19 up front and 275/35/19 in the rear. The 275s seem a bit big for this car so I'll likely go with 245 square all around on the next set. The slightly larger diameter of the 245/275 combo fits the wheel wells nicely on stock suspension.

In person they look more OEM, especially with the black center caps and that they are more round around the spoke edges than I expected. I was concerned they would appear to be aftermarket which was a look I didn't want.

I originally bought a set of RC-F wheels but the eBay seller never shipped them out. I'm happy they didn't because the 10" rear would have probably seemed much too large.

​​​​​​Compared to the stock 18x8 setup, weight savings with the forged wheels are about 36 lbs total.








I handled the tire purchase and installation through Discount Tire and between swapping TPMS sensors, hand torquing the new oem spline drive lugnuts and mounting and balancing without a scratch, they did an amazing job.

Thanks! I'll try to get some better outside photos too.

I found these wheels made an appearance in one of the original GS commercials, must be a one-off polished finish there:

I like those wheels and have been seeing them for years. The thing I don't like, and why I never got them is I don't like the tear drop Holes outside the the lug holes down on the bottom of the spokes. I know that likely is part of lightening the wheels, but there is just too much busy going on overall for me. I think if they had less spokes like 5 or 6 I might like them more.

Yeah I like the busy looking wheels and probably wouldn't have liked these as much without those holes but they won't be fun to clean!

In person these look quite different likely because of the way the paint reflects light. They are much darker and almost look like a split spoke design with those teardrop holes. I actually didn't like these that much and was regretting the purchase until I saw them mounted in-person on the car. The black center caps (which I bought for the RC-F wheels) was a good touch and updates the design in my opinion over the color matched center cap.

Thanks for that info. So that's the thing about wheels. Until you put them on you never know. Now you got me thinking that if I saw them on your car which is dark like mine, I would probably really like them alot. Thanks for starting to make me think about them again $$$$.

Is your car Black or Charcoal color?
