Default MY IS 350 with new wheels

I recently bought the X Package wheels and got them installed last night. I have to say that these wheels really change the look of the car.

here is a picture of the car

The picture didn't come out to well it was taking with my iPhone, I will take a better picture later on with a proper camera.


Future mods:

F-Sports - Suspension kit
F-Sports - Intake system
F-Sports - exhaust system
Tom side and Rear Lower lip spoiler
Lexon Roof spoiler

personally.. if were to spend money on rims i would have gone aftermarket.. but everyone has their own preferences and if you like them... thats all that really matters... good luck on the Fline products.

My best friend has a IS350, and he was thinking about putting those wheels on his car. After seeing this pic.... I can honestly say, that I am glad I talked him out of it.

BUT, I am sure you have your reasons on why you chose them. If you like them thats all that matters.

I'm with you on that. I have the OEM 08 wheels on mine and I like them better. Beside I'm making some carbon inserts to go between the spokes to change the look on them. Those X-pack wheels are ridiculously expensive for what they are and I'd rather save up for some Volk Progressive ME instead.

Hey your car looks great. Is yours color code 212 or 202? I'm thinking about purchasing the entire Tom's kit and selling the sides and rear. I only want the front but mine is obsidian (212) and there are a few that are black onyx (202). PM me if you're interested in spliting the kit with me. I've been talking to Carson's Toyota about it.

I always loved those OEM X 18's. That is pat of the reason I got rid of the 10 spoke OEM 17's and went with the MOMO 5 spokes like the Gen 1 IS. Thta was one of my favorite thiings on that car. Very nice, it does change the look. I hope you got a good deal on those, factory rims are a bundle.

I know some of you dislike these rims and fortunately i couldn't wait til April when AME FS-01 will released here in states i would get those but my i need tires for my car badly so i couldn't find anything decent for less than $1000. So went on ebay thinking if i can find some tires cheap and then i found a package deal with these rim and tire that were barely used from a dealer takeoffs and they were in excellent cond. and the price was decent as well. So i thought twice and told myself if i don't get the AME FS-01 my next choice would the X Plg wheels.

then i made a deal with the seller and he gave little break on the price of the wheels and tires and thought lets go with this deal.

I have the X-Package rims and did a chrome exchange. They look fantastic.

I'm too lazy to post pics right now.
