Default What do you think of these wheels and this 'look'? Opinions wanted!

So this is just a photoshop'd picture, but gives you an idea of what I'm going for. Kinda that F-Sport wheel look, dark wheels on light car. If you can, picture the car with black pearl emblems as well (they are being delieved soon) and would 'complete' the 'look'. What do you think?

Picture of wheel (Five Axis S5:F)

You have my all time favorite rim on the IS....then the T1S for a very close 2nd

I am not a fan of the 5 Axis rims on the IS. You can get a nicer rim for the $$ IMO.

If you like them, get them! Everybody has their own opinion on wheels, exhausts, lip kits, etc. If everyone liked and disliked the same thing, then we'd all be driving identical cars. That would be no fun...
