Default Bought my first Lexus — boy, am I happy!

So ... hi all.

Was looking around for a new car —*after owning two Mustangs for most of my life —*and instantly was attracted to the body of the Lexus IS series. Found a mint 2011 IS 250 with 40k on the odometer, loved the Smokey Granite Mica color and the handling and bought it soon after. I must say, I don't feel like I missed out on any power not going with a 350. This does what I need it to do just fine, with no concerns about passing people on the highways, etc.

That said, looking around the forum the past few weeks, I've never seen stock rims like mine. Are these stock?

Welcome!

if you google image 2011 IS250, you will see that those were one of the wheel options.

Love it - how come your SGM appears black? I've seen online pictures of SGM to appear really dark which is what I want but my SGM is definitely dark grey in pictures.
