Would you go with a all-chrome Giovanna Sabina 20" 8.5 front 10 back?



or

Hyper-Black/Polished Piaa Super Rozza 19" 8.5 front 9.5 back?

I'd choose PIAA. Japanese wheels for Japanese car.

x2. Those PIAA's look great especially in the hyper black. They would have been on my short list if they were just a touch lighter.

I'm pretty sure you have seen the guys here with the PIAA wheels on their ISs, well here's a couple of pics from a guy that installed the Giovannas in his IS. The wheels are wrapped in Toyo TR-1s 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. By the way, I personally like the look of the PIAAs better, but ultimately it's your money and your taste what counts.

Hope these pics help you to make your decision.

If those were the only choices, I would go with the PIAA's, probably in black chrome.

if those are your only choices then id go with the first ones. the piaa's would look weird because the spokes are way too thin, making the car look like it's missing something
