ANOTHER QUESTION I MUST ASK BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER ARE THEY GOOD QUALITY AND LIGHTWEIGHT

I made a ton more calls to get a quote on them and IT THEY FIT THE 07 TL-S. I WAS TOLD THEY FIT!!!!! BUT DO THEY???? I DON'T KNOW! CAN I BELIEVE THE PERSON ON THE PHONE? OR DO I NEED 50 MORE DIFF ANSWERS?

I WAS TOLD $2150 A SET. IN 19X8.5 OFFSET +43. 6-8 WEEKS TO GET.

BUT, ARE THEY LIGHT, GOOD QUALITY ? ? ?

I FORGOT TO SAY THANKS. HOW RUDE OF ME! THANKYOU AGAIN.

Well quality is good since it is made by Works wheels. Since these are 1 piece wheels, I assume they are pretty light. NOT as light as the Work Kai wheels though. I would say in between the Kai wheels and the VS-XX wheels as far as the weight ratio. I can confirm this to my friend. My friend had it for a month already but have installed it yet since last week because of prepping the body kit. Yes 6-8 weeks is about right. YES it will fit with the correct offset.

I went to a few websites and it said the Varianza T1S is a 2 piece. Is this true? Do they compare with Volk 2 piece GT-S in quality and weight. I just spent an hour typing and can't send e-mails, something with my server. I AM PISSED. Sorry, but this is making me mad trying to get wheels I like that are quality, still being made, and fit this FKN car!

Does anybody know the finish on the Varianza T1S on that IS350? Standard finish is (LS) Lightning Silver, optional is (MSP) Machined Silver Polish.

OH thats an extra charge finish. Its called MSP= Machined Silver Polish. I thought they were LS=Lightning Silver. Which I guess would look good on my ASM Silver 07 TL-S

I think your car would look better with a lighter shade of gold.

Is that the optional lexus ground effects kit on the IS? or is it aftermarket? Damn that IS looks hot. I really want one but hate them because the rear is so ugly, looks like a freakn box on regular IS. Does it still look like with the kit?

Who cares? How much more do they weigh versus the stock wheels?

I finally found some wheels for my future TL-S.
