IS-F wheels?
So ive been doin some research and i think i found the rims to save for. everytime i see the isf the first thing i look at is the rims like 
iono if some extra $ comes my way or change my mind about the s/c i think ill grab em 
let me know what you think
they are staggered as a set. here are the specs
Front Size : 19 x 8J
Rear Size : 19 x 9J
Offset Front : 45.8mm
Offset Rear : 55.0mm
Center Bore : 72.62mm
Pitch Circle Diameter : 114.3mm
so obviously the rears will be a little big and need some modification to the fenders and such. so im thinking just pick up 4 fronts???? run a 225 or 235?? tire and call it a day... will they work guys?
heres a pic

Yup, pretty dang close to mine..i think these are a little darker than my HFPs..plus, the ISf wheels have a twist in the spoke it appears whereas my HFPs are pretty much block spokes. my wheels flip two or three different colors depending on the sun angle since there is a slight bronze tint to the HFPs..plus, the HFPs have the silver sparkle flakes to give it some good shine on the spokes...these ISf wheels look really nice though. I think they are at least semi-forged like the HFPs...mine still weigh about 23-24 lbs each, but not too bad for a 19.
Hopfully a 73 to 64.1 mm plastic hub ring will work and then just get two fronts and you are good to go!! Those ISf wheels are hella nice though..the HFPs have the perfect fitment though if you ask me. 19x8, 64.1mm bolt circle, 55 offset so you can slam and tuck (if you want) Good luck and post pics!!!!

its funny that you chimed in man my first plan was to go to the hfp's after i saw yours i was in love but just like you said im not a fan of the color change i wish they stayed like the dark gunmetal. you can pull it off with the WDP but for the ABP eh i think the darker gunmetal is money. you think i can find a hub ring like that?

Stand For Something
I might be moving into an IS350 so i've been on the Lexus forums quite a bit, there are definitely a few used sets of IS-F rims for sale for much much less. Just an FYI.

see if www.finishlinewheels.com has the lexus is-f wheels yet..this is a great source for oem wheels, they are usually refinished and much cheaper than dealer prices..they got the 18 and 19" hfps now also..under honda accord 2008 model for anyone interested..last I checked..same prices as the hfps being sold by honda dealers on ebay
also, I think he was gonna buy two sets of front wheels and no stagger..

keep in mind..you need to buy two rights and two lefts (front sizes)..they are directional spokes but $299 each is a great deal for refinished wheels with A+ rating..damm

Trust me, they will grow on you..i was worried about it too but now that I got em, i am 100% pleased. They balance up perfect each time, never any vibrations and strong as hell...i hit some pretty bad road patches with potholes and they have not bent or got any dead spots...i love them...with the 55 offset and how the wheel is actually designed for Hondas, they fall right in line with the suspension components and do not cause added stress on bearings and things like that when going with lower offsets like most aftermarket wheels. No rubbing and most likely no fender tab trimming required either.
Good luck bruh!

Well, the HFPs come with the OEM color match cap with "H" logos since it is an Accord wheel. Since I haven't done an Inspire badge swap, i needed the A's. So, you just need to order the center caps for the A-Specs and they come in 2 pieces..the actual cap and the logo are seperate pieces. There are holes on the cap and two prongs on the back of the H and A emblems that snap into place on the caps with clips and they have 3M adhesive also. It all goes together like Lego's and your done...gotta love the fact that most Honda parts are interchangeable..in this case, the centercap swap was as easy as Jenna Jameson

no issues, but i gotta tell you..i have maybe an 1/8" clearance on my front control arm..they tuck in the fenderwells pretty good with 55 offset...more than enough inner and outer clearance on the rears...but, either way..no rubbing at all up front and no fender mods up front. I had my rear fenders rolled for my old wheels (which i really didn't have to do) and my fender tabs are trimmed..again, for my old whees, but i really don't think any mods are required for the HFPS running a 235/35/19. A Falken Azenis ST-115 tire in that size would offer even more front clearance if you wanted it since the tire shoulders are rounded and not squared off like my General Exclaim UHPs
