Default Which wheels?

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking on here since last August when I bought my 2011 IS 350 AWD in Obsidian. I finally decided to create an account because I need advice on which wheels to buy. I have been scouring all of the wheel threads and I think I have it nailed down to the Avant Garde M310 or M368 in Matte Black or Dolphin Gray.

Right now I'm leaning towards the M368 in gray because I can't find the black ones for sale anywhere. Any thoughts on these? I'm also planning on going to a 19" wheel.

If anyone could photoshop these wheels on an Obsidian IS, that would be sweet!

Thanks!

^ Scroll down and there's pics of a black IS with them in the dolphin gray finish

Have you considered Linea Corse wheels from Wheeldude?

Thanks!

I hadn't seen those pics yet, thanks for sharing.

I have considered the Linea Corse wheels, I really like those! It looks like they only come in staggered though and I'm really hesitant to run staggered on my AWD. Do you think Linea Corse are better than Avant Garde? If so, why?

In my opinion I like the Linea Corse better because the concave on them are more aggressive, you should be fine to run staggered on AWD a lot of us who has it do, you just gotta make sure you run the right tires.

i like the m368 wheels. Just wish they would offer more finishes than just the dolphin gray with that white/silverish accent on the wheel. Those two colors clash imo

Looks like you are running silver Linea Corse now. Why the switch?

Yeah, I'm having a hard time picturing what those will look like on my Obsidian IS. Anybody know of any pics floating around, I can't find any...
