DEFINITELY the G2's!!!!!

As for color depends on your vehicle color but be careful since black cars require some color such as titanium to bring out the wheels. Flat black on a black car would just look like hubcap rims from a distance. Also your overall drop height will play a major role in how the car pulls off the overall look.

The other two wheels have already been tried and look horrible (just my 2 cents) on the IS-F.

So the G2 eh? I agree the G2 are nice I'm starting to like wheels w/o lip. I kinda agree that Matte or flat black from a distance looks like oversized hubs lol. The formula silver looks a bit darker that regular silver from the picture. Almost like our BBS finish.
Besides that G2 offset should be ideal from reading the archive. Haha

should I do it? 20's on stock height lol

My vote is for the Volk G10 Formula Silver, the flat black and gunmetal is getting old in my book

G10 gets my vote... though from far away one *might* mistake them for stock IS-F wheels.

G2 design-wise look too much like TE-37s in my opinion.

Gt30s for sure. I think the TEs look much better than the G2s.

I'd have to see them on a car to really know, but I do like the G10's a lot.
