I think its different in person. I used to agree but once I compared the two in person it was a no brainer decision.

Never seen fender guards like that on an IS. Interesting....

Good call on the non staggered setup for the AWD

I figured if i been riding on 19's on my 95 Accord for the past 8 years. I wasn't gonna go 19's on an IS. Always gotta upgrade and go bigger.

plus 20's dont look that big on the car when its lowered right.

Yup. I believe 20s look perfect in our cars. People just need to know how to drop.

Yeah, unfortunately, that was the most aggressive set available in that color at the time I ordered the wheels... and I *needed* that color. It doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would, though. Worse comes to worst, I might try just dropping it a little more up front and see if that helps. I could have bought 18x8.5 with a +30 offset, but that would have been a bit too much I think.

Thanks for the comments, though.
