bob4256: Yep S5:F I think you had them at one point in time, if I'm not wrong? What size were yours?

hopefully I can get my headlight setup by the end of this week...wheels will be mounted next week for photos but still need tires before I can drive on them,

Yeah I did, theyre actually 18x8.5 + 35 all around. This was before I knew anything about wheel and tire sizes so I just bought them without knowing. Theyre still sitting in my garage and Im hoping to sell them as soon as I get a hold of some oem wheels.

They look good on SGM

Great looking car,it is hard to find a clean low mileage is350 on the used market.Especially in White,SMG and BOP.I still think a'06,'07 is350 is the best value on used market.

I like those rims, nice job. Like it was said before, you can't go wrong with these on an SGM car

I don't think I've ever seen them on a non-SGM car

Thanks!

I was planning on getting silver ones but a used deal popped up and had to pull the trigger. My other option was Weds Kranze Verae in bronze but my car isn't aggressive enough to pull that off and the price was way too steep for me at the moment.

I like it so far, not sure about the gap yet but I haven't driven it more than off and on the driveway/garage. I was tired from work yesterday and installed them right when I got home + humidity.... Also afraid to test/push it since I have no fender work done yet (Friday). I have 235/30 and 275/30.

I will be washing the car today so I think I may really like the wheels afterwards, I like wheels that are easy to wash/dry haha. I wanted a mesh wheel but when I thought about the washing part... tedious.

Updated the first post since 4 years... and finally back to modding after 2 years of nothing new
More goodies for the car in the next few weeks/months.

Always great to see the 2IS platform get some tasteful mods. Some one off ones on yours makes a huge difference. The custom exhaust sounds amazing. Can't wait to see the new look soon.

Wow, the BC coils and swift springs make such a difference compared to stock height. Beautiful ride man!

Thanks! Swift + OEM sport springs was really nice for comfort with some performance, Swift + F-Sport shocks was a more firm but still sport comfy and less harsh than F-Sport springs+F-Sport shock, I only felt the limitations once I switched to a harder tire (Hankook V12 to Michelin PSS) so now I'm on BC/Swift 14/12k

Update: wheels are back on...



Update: exhaust clip with resonators (going to get the resonators removed.. too quiet compared to when I had it straight and didnt solve my drone issue, going to try side branch res)

One of the cleanest ISx50s I've ever seen! So decisive on the mods, though it comes with great research and customer support from vendors. Lookin' good, Eric!
