best wheel color for white IS?
I think I am settled on going with Work T1S's.. question is if I should go for the matte black or black chrome? I love the way gloss black looks with the polished lip but Im not sure how it will look on the IS body on white.. Opinions?

Depends what look you are going for. If you are going to go for a sporty look, go with black. If you are looking for a more elegant look, go for brushed aluminum or chrome.
P.S. What are you going to do wiht the TPMS sensors?

These wheels from Element114 look great on a white 2IS. Check the link on my Signature and you'll see Element114 in there. The wheel is the 404.

The Element114 wheels look great on white and red 2ISs. Seen them in person.

I agree with knihc2008; however, I prefer chrome or high polish on white.

definately something not too dark.
I personally think black is out of the question.
Black chrome & gun metal are preferred.

Nothing looks as good as the stock 18s on a white IS.

I agree that black wheels look bad on pretty much anything but thats why there's gun metal.

Gold, brushed silver, maybe matte black look good on white.
