They're not real pics of cars with them on...but it gives an idea of what they may look like on the IS. What do you think???

IMO, those wheels are UGLY as hell...they just so....GHETTO. Those are wheels that people put STRICTLY to get attention from the "generic" public...wheels should compliment the OVERALL look of your ride, not dominate it...I would put those on a '89 Civic...

Try these instead...

Thanks!!!

if you want the pictures to actually show up, post them as JPEG files -- either *.jpg or *.jpeg for the extension. MS paint can save a BMP into a jpeg and photoshop can do it in its sleep.

My vote is for the Altstadts or the Lsportline...also, there is a 1-piece version of the Model IV's called the Model V (very innovative naming, eh? ) It's quite a bit less than the Mod.IV but I think it only goes to 18" and IMO, it doesn't look as nice as the Mod.IV's...

Also, if you're going to spend that cash on Lsportlines, why not look at some HRE 440R's (specifically, the 441R...see the photo below supplied by Wheel Kinetics)...those are NICE! If they made them in 20's, I'd buy a set TODAY for my GS430 (of course, it would take 4 weeks or so to get them built... )

Look at the lip....like Angelina Jolie...
