YOU GOT IT!! It's Is350. Just finished installing the ING+1 Body kit on my friend's car. Cost like $2500 for just the kit no paint, and the fitment sucks. took us 8 hours to finish cause all the minor sanding, and drilling to fit. Even my DG lip that cost way less, has better fitment than them.
JDM= Rip off!!!

Stock wheels are better than those rotas. Those TE37s are worth waiting for. Patience my friend. Do it right.

Got my Volks from http://gruppe-s.com/index.htm

Talk to Kyong Choi and tell him Eric Moon sent you.
He'll cut you the best deal on a new set of FOTB Volks that you'll find from any retailer in the US.
He gave me free shipping and when the deal was done, I was about $60 cheaper per wheel than other places I was shopping.

Be prepared to wait a long time for your Volks. Mine took about 14 weeks to get to me.
Also, when I ordered from Gruppe-S, I only had to put half down on my order and pay the other half when the wheels were stateside and ready to ship.

Volks are nice. They're JDM yo! But, you're looking at at least $1,000 more for a set of wheels. Yeah, they're forged, but guess what. They still scratch when you hit a curb and bend when you hit a pothole hard enough, just like Rota. They're made light for the track, not for bad roads, so choose wisely if you've got bad roads in your area. You can get two sets of Tenzo's for the price of a set of Volks or a set of Tenzo's plus $1,000 worth of other mods. There are plenty of nice wheels out there without having to go with a forged Volk. Most, if not all factory wheels are cast and hold up just fine. Do you really need a forged wheel to save 3-4lb? If you like the Volk look and don't think anyone else out their replicates it for less, then go for it.

Some people just like having the real deal.
No knockoff Prada sunglasses or imitation True Religion jeans in this house!

i dunno, like others have said, ppl just want the real deal. personally, i just wanted wheels that would never have to be replaced. i'm not rich or nething, i just thought it was a good investment. from what i've read, volks dont bend when they hit potholes, or they're not supposed to lol. true it can be scratched and all that, but i guess u have to be really really really careful. i see where ur coming from, but i've bought so many rims, none of em lasted.
