Default Agree Ultra White is the way to go

Here are some pics ....ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RIMS with ultra white color.



At first I didn't think I'd like the dark rims with any color car...always look like they're dirty. However, since our first F Sport I kinda changed my mind. OK, I did change my mind, the black or graphite color rims on a white car looks awesome. I'm shopping around for a set of vossen CV5 graphite rims for new milkee, the only down side is price. BTW, nice looking F Sport, congrats.

Thanks! And congrats to you too! Did you get the roja interior?

I ended up getting the black since it'll get less dirty. I also got that Simonized glass interior and exterior. Just yesterday the rear driver tire had a screw stuck near the side wall. They said they couldn't patch it and it would need replacing. Needed a brand new tire. Thankfully Herb chambers Lexus of Sharon MA hooked me up and realized this just happened after 2 days taking delivery and replaced the tire with a brand new OEM one for free.

We got the black interior, my wife didn't care for the red. Gotta tell ya, the service we get from Lexus is outstanding. We live in GA, last Thanksgiving we were in Toledo Ohio and needed our 45K checkup, we stopped by Lexus of Toledo. They treated us like family, execptional service and people, no matter where you're at.

Hi - traded in a high mileage '04 545i for a 2014 IS350 F Sport AWD. Obsidian/ red - love the color combo. Didn't get the ML audio unfortunately but the rest of it is loaded.

Hi all.
Just joined... I am considering buying a Lexus IS350 (current ride is a 2013 Camaro SS).
I've got pretty extensive car knowledge, as I'm an "experienced driver".

(OK, some people call that old.)

Always looking to learn, so I'll be lurking often.

350 all the way...I've seen way too many people get the 250 and return it and lose money to upgrade to the 350 lol

Wow that color looks really nice! Congrats btw.

Also for some reason those rims look like their not as shiny? Maybe their dirty?

Another experienced driver here. When shopping for our first F Sport, I was stuck between a new camaro or a Lexus IS. I went witha 2011 IS 250 F Sport, my decision was made after talking with our local chevy service manager. She owned an IS, traded it for a new camaro and less than a year later she went back to a Lexus. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. We now drive a 2014 IS350 F Sport, I like it a lot.
