Default New rims help decide!

Hello People!
I was wondering what rims I should start out with. I have chose three but I cannot pick one because they all look too good =D! I have an obsidian black is350 and was thinking about the Five axis s5 rims either bronze or gun metal. Also I was looking at the ISP rims from lexus and they also look nice with color coated black. What should I choose and what color rims would look sexy on my black is350? Please help me =P

I personally love gunmetal, and I think it'd suit the black IS350 pretty well. You can't go wrong with bronze either.

But yeah, I'd go with the Five Axis S5's over the ISP's b/c they have a different feel towards them and are more of a "difference". (But on the other hand, if you want to stay more or less OEM-ish, go with the ISP's.)

5axis will look awesome KangstaxD..bronze or gunmetal that will be your choice cos I'd have a difficult time to choose man. I advice u to do research on them to help you decide.

Thanks guys for the feedback! Just got my is350 2009 in obsidian and by the end of this year, I want to add the f-sport spring with the wald front lip kit. I was debating, since im going with an agressive look on the is350, if gold or bronze s5 axis will make the is350 shine and make it look more aggresive. On the other hand, someone posted a picture of the ISP color coated in black and it looks really sweet.. Im leaning towards the five axis s5, but I can't choose over the bronze or gold =0!

YEA P34R1,
I started wanting the ISP after looking at your picture to tell you the truth! They look so nice. Do you like it and have any regrets? If you had the choice between the isp or the s5 rims, what would you choose after you have color coated your rims?
Thanks man!
