Default Giovanna Dalar 5 on IS250 2nd gen

Hey guys,

So I wanted to post pictures of my IS250 on Giovanna Dalar 5 in matte black. The rims are 20x8.5, 38+ offset all around. I didn't go with the staggered setup because I want to be able to rotate my tires and also didn't want to go through the process of getting them wide tires for the back - they could be expensive. Before anyone comments on it, I know she needs a drop real bad, but I have no plans to do so at this point. New England winters are tough. Let me know your thoughts.

Can we get a more clear picture so we can see the design of the wheel? As it looks, i am not a fan of the silver lining around the wheels. But to each there own & it's your vehicle so modify it to your liking. A Clearer picture would be great!

Here you go - a close up at the wheels! The lining isn't silver color. It's machined metal.

I'd prefer the lining to be black as well VS the machined but the second picture you provided can help other members chime in. Congrats on the new wheels.

Not my cup of tea, I prefer rims such as LC818 or the Avant Garde M310 (that's what I have). But it's your car so do what you like and that's all that matters.

They are matte black. For some reason, the camera did not get a nice shot and there wasn't enough sun light. I wouldn't plasti dip brand new rims.

Love them. I actually wanted to buy those, but I found a better deal on the Dalar 5. They look good on your car. Mind sharing what tire sizes you're running? Thnxs

Thanks. I originally wanted to go with Vossen, but couldn't afford it. Maybe later on I'll get a set for my next Lexus. I get looks, though
