Default What my IS will look like...opinions?

Hey you guys! I'm new to the forums and would like to show you a photoshop of how my IS will look like in about 3-4 weeks as it will take time for my rims to get here if I decide to order them. Any opinions are appreciated! Anyway enough from me I'll let the picture do the talking. Hope you like!



PS. I was wondering how any of you would feel if you stated what mods you had on your car and someone else copied exactly how your car looked... just wondering. Thanks.

Except for certain colors, i'm all over black wheels with chrome lip. Especially on white, black, bright red, and silver. I even think they could look good on the light blue.
Looks hawt.
So what wheels are they?

I like the rims from the show car better. I think the silver matches well with the front area - grill, headlights, and foglights.

It's funny, in a lot of pictures of the IS that I see, the back wheels look really small. I know it's just perspective, but don't the rear wheels look tiny?

I've never liked any vehicles with black wheels. The first thing I think of is that the wheels are filthy. But hey, its your car.

I think it looks great! The black wheels are unique, set it apart and look cool. Go for it!

I'd go with the black rims on tinted Black Onyx. Definately a plus!

Rims are such a personal item. If you like it, then it's worth getting.

My opinion, they look nice, but I would prefer all chrome.

That looks really nice. Love the black rims on the black onyx. As for the chrome suggestion IMO. It's all about what you like!

Black wheels with polished lips are played out IMO. The style comes in and goes out just as fast. A nice set of silver or high polished wheels would look great all the time.

That's like saying black cars are played out.
Now if we were talking about spinners....

Here in Ny , you really only see black rims in the poor nieghborhoods, and mostly
on old civics and acura's.. & even now they're starting not to do it anymore..

I personally never liked black rims,, looks like the car has on 4 spare tires..
