Those wheels are custom order. You buy the wheel, and a strasse forged tech calls you up and has them made for your vehicle. The wheels cost around $1500 a piece IIRC, not cheap. Any offset, any size, any bolt pattern. You can get them made for you, if you have the money.
Here is a sales site http://www.wheeltrends.com/Wheels-Strasse-Forged/c307_637/p2784/S5-Carbon-Fiber/product_info.html
or you can contact them directly strasseforged.com

Markup or no markup on HID's, not everyone out there is here to help "our" community. Nobody said to buy it from him. Ebay is a click away, along with the couple that bought them from DDM and VVME. He offered and some bought. IIRC he showed the box that came from the company why not figure out how much they really were...

I dont... But I dont think any of us are in the spot to say it either way. Both ways you proved my point, its not known for a fact.
True anybody working with cars is usually struggling. More with their car than their life. I dont have that problem. Struggling is not in my life, sorry to burst your bubble. Just cause my car isnt running I dont say im struggling. As much as my car has been down compared to up and running Everytime I see it a big
comes to my face. Knowing slowly but surely the car will be up again and starting havoc.- amyn
Thanks genius!
Which is the reason i don't like him.Now keep brown noses maybe he will hook you up a set of those wheels at his SPEACIAL Cost :laugh:

You clearly know nothing about this guys one track history and need to read up on this guy by looking at all of his posts in the last 2 years, every one is about this stupid car, He would also brag about how rediculous his car payment was and how little he makes. Its the same story every time, he drives a lexus, so he must be better than every contour driver. He starts a new thread every couple months posting the same car rather than just updating one of his old threads. Its all show and no go and he comes back just to get his jollys off on CEG compliments.

I wish this twerp would go away. I wonder what's gonna happen when he gets into an accident and ruins all the CF parts?

Customization insurance. It isnt that expensive to add onto your policy.

Yeah well with all this money this bozo already doesn't have, hopefully he can afford it.

The compliments stopped for a couple of days so the OP won't be back for another 2 months by my watch. But he'll just start a new thread about his car, and the carbon fibre tint he had installed, meaning he'll never see the bashing he's receiving now. And the cycle will continue......

Hey guys! This turned into an exciting thread haha!
First off, the wheels will not haze because like everything else that's carbon, they have the resin/clear coat etc and are guaranteed to be top notch...
Strasse Forged is actually a fairly new company and the whole reason they sponsored me was because i am HUGE in the Lexus forums (over 4,500 posts) and i already got them 5 Lexuses to order wheels. I was the first Lexus IS250/350 with a set of their wheels and i can guarantee i wont be the last. Hell if someone copies my wheel set-up i'll just sell mine and get a different set of Strasse Forged wheels! (They just came out with step lips
As for what i paid, it was a one time sponsored price so i can not mention any pricing but i know a set like my wheels will retail at about $1,975 a rim.
These wheels were EXTREMELY light when they had no tires on. I was able to curl them no problem LOL and if i remember correctly, the front (20x9) weighs about 22-23 lbs...
I decided to go with that offset/fitment because in the Lexus world, it's all about VIP and who has the flushest wheels and best fitment and let me tell you everyone LOVED my fitment and i actually need to lower my car a bit more for the whole hellaflush look. I am actually going to be featured in a couple online magazines and i'm awaiting my other mods to be considered in paper magazines.
This won't be the only car i get guys, I'm considering an IS-F or an M3 next and for sure i will modify it to my liking, even if it's CF on another white car!
I appreciate all the comments & opinions and i know that White/CF isn't for everyone!
Thanks for your time guys!
P.S- It's a "BASE" model because believe it or not it's the car i wanted down to the exact specs...
2007/2008 Lexus IS250 Starfire Pearl with Black Leather interior 6 SPEED MANUAL (which is a 4 month pre-order). I shouldn't have to explain my reasoning for getting the car i WANTED instead of getting a car with 100 extra HP... i prefer cruising enjoying my ride and the great miami and getting the usual stares
Nice IS...my friends have a GS', they're brothers. Bob has a 400, Matt a 300...
Bob owns an upstart wheel company named "INDIVID" wheels. He previously worked for HRE and then Zone Wheels. http://www.individwheels.com/
This goes along with what Steve (SVT4STV) posted with the GT-R. Just b/c you can afford to BUY one, doesn't mean you can afford to OWN one.

lol I see alot of comments about how this guy has "the cheapest model lexus", but the hilarious thing is, we are all driving cars that were discontinued 8 YEARS AGO, and even those of us who have a CSVT, is it better that we're driving the most expensive Ford Contour? We're still driving Ford Contours and he's still driving a pimped out Lexus.
You like his car or you hate it, but nobody here is in any place to say anything about the price tag buds.
BTW I want so badly to see one of these cars with stretched tires pop a bead in a corner and wipe the f*ck out because the owner thought it looked good like that.

Ask me how much I spent on my Contour..... And I dont make a great amount of money, you as well are in no boat to say anything about price tags until you know what other people have done to their car.... Look at CSVT#49's Build.
I can name more mods on my car that the price of a base IS..... and its only rising!
