Yeah very dull, worse than an estate agents description 😉. Hardly selling the unique selling features of the car...Rarity, future classic etc.

Most of the younger cars I've seen had the newer wheels but I guess the originals are still in stock, so the buyer could've taken their pic of all three designs.

I didn't know the ISF was foldable.....😉

That was a good deal, I just missed out on those. I have two for the right side, paid £350. Would complete that set or get four new oem/aftermarket and keep those two for long term spares/stock.

Thanks @wildpolish they look like good wheels, but steep £ compared to recent prices on ebay UK. Is that an eBay type site or business sellers?

Funny enough I have Polish relatives. Although I only know 'thank you', 'good' and 'how are you'. Which wouldn't help me in negotiations 😉.

darn it..... Wasn't aware of Polish eBay tbh. An alternative 'quality' aftermarket would be Weds Sports who do a couple of similar ish wheels....

I might try to find a similar aftermarket wheel which is similar to the 2013 if I can't find oem options for when it's time to switch back to summer tyres. Might need spacers if I go down that route.

Thanks 🐀, I will have a look there and maybe on Ebay Australia. It could be a long search as out of the F's it's only the 2013/14 models with the wheels.

I thought I would share my findings with the group. I had be searching for some information on the 2013 ISF alloys as I would love them on my 2008 car. I found the design which is RE-V from BBS. Unfortunately they are very rare and the fittings don't correspond and I can only find the correct fittings from BBS Japan. I will continue the search but as you see below (email from BBS USA) the cost is far too steep..... "The wheels would cost about 4,000 USD + shipping from Japan + shipping to you. The last time we flew in a single set from Japan it cost about 650 USD... Japanese imports are taxed higher than we'd like.The part numbers I'm thinking are REV048 - 19x8.5 et43 - and REV049 - 19x9.5 et50 - As we have not ordered them before, I would need to confirm with the Japanese that they do indeed clear the IS-F brakes".

Hi Matt, I'm 6'1 and my ISF is without the sunroof, you're definitely right to wait. I used to have an IS250 with the sunroof and I was brushing the roof in certain seat configurations. Good luck with the search, they're worth the wait. Mark

Ideally leather but it can get slippery, I recently gave it a detailed clean with some Gliptone and now it's giving plenty of grip. Nicely but together but I prefer this..... http://lexusboutique.net/?pid=1388303 and you can get the matching gear shifter.

Looks good. Lots of variations of this, rr racing also make one. https://www.rr-racing.com/Custom-Carbon-fiber-Steering-Wheel-for-Lexus-ISX-p/isxcfsw001.htm

😁 Lexus is becoming a lifestyle choice not just a car.

How is it? Minimal difference I assume? Got mine from there, few weeks delivery but to be expected and they warned me upfront.

Buddy of mine over for a week from Oz, mini Road trip, F parked up, off to the watering holes shortly...... 😉

Day out in Bath, thought I better start the training.....

Great bit of kit.... Maybe next time you change your works vehicle @Big Rat???

That ones been up for sale before, assume it didn't sell last time around, same photos, filthy wheels for 33k!

Following the Clarkson stereotype of Lexus drivers, why don't we just discuss this at the golf club? Email, Facebook, letter, carrier pigeon...works for me.

I'm on Facebook @Flytvr but what about a WhatsApp group? I think posh builders use that! Wink 😉

Anything I change I would like to be subtle and easily reverted back to stock. Gear knob, lip spoiler, wheels, that's about it.

I have that F Sport gear knob, or as our friend in the video says 'shifter'. That bumper ain't bad 🐀, I've always had a slight issue with the F's front end, this does make the car look younger but wouldn't go there myself.

Absolutely................. .... .... .... Not 😉 Useful tip 🐀

That works for me...
