I would score the 18's just a little higher than the 17's (as pictured). However, the fine print on lexus.com website says that tire life will be significanty shorter with the 18's. I drive approximately 12K miles a year.. and as everyone might have known, cost for 18" tires aren't cheap!

Off Topic but here is a picture I saw this morning by my dealer. Base IS250 AWD in white for some of you that are interested in seeing the 17s.

First time I saw the color I thought it was pretty gross, but I saw it again it started to grow on me. I personally wouldn't rock this green, but I no longer think it is hideous looking. In terms of the wheels, yeah 18's look better, but the 17's do not look bad.

I think it is a cool green and quite diffent than the usual, pine, emerald, BRG, type dark greens that are out there. I have the IS brochure right in front of me and this green wouldn't be my first choice but I would choose it over some of the silver/white/baby blues that seem to dominate the color choices. It is a more mature color than the reds, blues and yellows! that dominated the last IS's color palate.

I really like the color, I think it's a nice color. I personally am not a "green car" person so I wouldn't drive it but I do think it looks nice. If someone were to give it to me I wouldn't complain I'll say that. Now the 17s would have to go. Of course this is coming from someone who has 19s so......
