Default Best wheels to go with Tungsten Pearl IS???

I am trying to get some new wheels for my tungsten pearl IS. Does anyone here have pics of theirs with aftermarket wheels, I would love to see some different options so I can see if silver, black, or grey wheels are the ones for me. Thanks in advance. And yes, I did try a google search to see, but with no definitive conclusion.

Okay, there are so many possibilities that this is really difficult for anyone to answer. Get on YouTube and search for more results if necessary. I'm a huge fan of Vossen but they start with 19" and go up. Are you looking for a specific size or offset? There are lots and lots of 2nd gen IS wheel threads already on CL. I wanted to go with black wheels on ours and bought Motegi MR125s a couple of years ago. Like them a lot but about ready to change it up. Stuck with 18x8 in the front but went with 18x9 in the rear. Like the wheels but wish the front was as flush as the rear. Here are a few pics. Hope this helps........

looks awesome. thanks guys, I should say that I have an AWD dropped just a touch on HR springs. So I am sticking with 18's to not take away the purpose of the buying the car for golf trips in some possibly snowing areas of Cali and Oregon. I am really into the LFA style wheel but trying to figure if I like black, gunmetal, or silver in correlation with the paint. I just dont see too many guys with Tungsten on here.

I like the black wheels with silver paint but I think it's too common on Tungsten Pearl IS. Plus, IMO you lose a lot of detail in the wheels when they're black. So I went with polished rims, very happy with the result.
