ISC meets iSS......forged

[mikes rx]

update 6/5/10 --> finally lowered car

12/7/09--> installed pics added

Well, I figure I'd post this in the ISC specific forum since it's related to the ISC.

Unassembled:


Assembled:





MAJOR PROPS TO JANOY AT ISS FOR THIS ONE

I can finally announce that:

ISS forged will be introducing a new wheel, and their first set will be making it to a fellow member of the my.is / club lexus community!!! :woot:

The wheels are going to be FM-8..... it's the FM-10 wheel but with a mesh 8 instead of mesh 10 design, as shown in the rendering above.

I can't wait till I get them. Should be here round Thanksgiving if all goes well

Again, major thanks to Janoy for getting these produced for me :thumbup: He is the man. He listened to all of my questions and concerns and is definitely knowledgeable in his business. A++++ so far.

For those wondering, here's what the setup will be:

FM-8, brushed center with chrome lips
19x8.5 front, +40 offset, 1.5" lip
19x9 rear, +40 offset, 3" lip
Custom fastener setup (fasteners at spokes only)
TPMS compatible and hubcentric

TIRES-- Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
225/35/19 front
265/35/19 rear


Please don't flame on the offsets/widths. I know it won't sit hella flush and all that, but I was going for a specific look for my application. Also, keep in mind that the ISC doesn't have a rear fender flare that's as pronounced as the sedan, so wheels sticking out may not look right.

Also, I wanted something close to the F-sports as I knew they would work with future suspension mods with no problem, and I didn't want to sacrifice rear tire width.

I don't know what that means, but ok

[LO 21]

he probably means "small"
wheels looks great, but they also look pretty small since the car's stance is so high. maybe a drop will make it flow better

[ShagginWagon]

the drop should bring it all together nicely.... great looking wheels, the brushed look is very grown up of you.

Thanks. You should've seen the car with the factory 18's.....looked straight puny in the rear due to the rear fender.

I was thinking 20's in the rear, but there's no way I could do 30-series tires.

But yeah I am planning on dropping it this spring.

Thanks. yeah I'm a big fan of brushed centers, especially on dark colored cars. IMO makes it look more factory.

Looks great as a wheel design, but too small for the car IMO--- could benefit from a healthy drop as well... great start either way
