1. Tint
2. Rims
3. Radio

Welcome to CL...!!

The 17" of 2IS wont fit the front unless you put spacers. The back of 17" and 18" all around will fit perfectly.

Welcome aboard. Your fiance has good taste in cars! What color is it? The 18" OEM IS250 / IS350 look great on the IS300, search around and you will see. I really like the 2008 model OEM 18" wheel because it's the only year that design came in Hyper silver, aka graphite.

Can get 2IS wheels with tires for like $600-$700.
The amount you pay for brand new tires for stock IS300 wheels is about the same.

What part of CA are you in?
You try to search craigslist?
