I think they look "ok" but my opinion is that there are better wheel choices out there.

I've asked this once, but I'm going to ask you again, now that everyone can get a good idea of what they're going to look like. (only my IS is going to be sitting on 19's, 10" wide in the rear, and lower). What is your opinion on these wheels? Are they too flashy? Are they just the right amount of luxury and sporty?
that looks like a 19" wheel to me... either way, i like the multi spoke wheels..

Give me a call tomorrow so we can see what I can do to help get these ordered. Remember that the wheels take a while to come in from Japan so if you wait until spring to order them they will still be a while

Actually, in the first picture you showed, the wheels look too big to be 18's, but in the second pic, they look too small... They look like 19's and 17's, respectively. Are you sure about those sizes?

Also, in the second pic, is it just me, or does it look like the inner lip of the wheel isn't as deep as in the first pic? Do you know what I mean? It looks like the spokes on the wheels in the second pic are flush with the side wall of the tires, whereas in the the first pic, it looks like the spokes are at least about an inch deep within the wheel.

Anyways, those wheels (in the first pic) are pretty much exactly my style. That's why I've been thinking about the chrome ISP-mode wheels if I couldn't find anything like that from other manufacturers for a reasonable price.

yes I do know what you mean..They make both a multipiece wheel (bigger lip) and a forged wheel with a smaller lip. I believe the smaller wheels are the forged ones.

Those wheels will look great on your car! What size are you going with? Are going to get them staggered? Post pictures when you get them installed.

19x9.5R +45 (265/30), 19x8.5F +42 (225/35)..not sure if I'm getting springs or coilovers. I think springs make more sense, it's not like im going to be racing to work or something.

I've been wanting these wheels since forever, and have been saving up for a while. Needless to say, don't get them, don't want other people driving around with the same style! :P

its ok bro..you're on that left coast, I'm on the east coast. it's like a mirror image. As long as I'm not riding in the same state, we're kosher. BTW are you considering lowering w/ springs or coilovers?

Is it just me or do those rim look A LOT better on the first picture than in the second? I actually thought they were different rims that were made to look as a replica lol. Anyways how much would those run for 18s?

The second picture is slightly different they are smaller, and are single piece. Where as the bigger better looking versions are multipiece + staggered. I'm not sure of the price. D2autosport quoted 2,200 for 4 19" wheels. so im assuming the 18"s could run you about 1,800?
