I always liked the X-Package. Too bad it wasn't offered for the '06, so I chromed the stock 18"s instead.

From the picture provided by Lexus I go for the ISP...however when I see those who has ISP on their IS I kind of thinking maybe it would look much better in person. Just that I won't have a chance to see one in HK or Macao...(Lexus don't provide the ISP as an option here)

For the ISP, G Spyder, and X Package, the finish is not regular silver compared to the OEM 18" stocks and OEM 17" stocks. They are Hyper Silver.

Hyper Silver finishes tend to be a "gunmetal" color in dim lighting and silver color in direct light.

And yes, in dim lighting, they do look darker.

That's what I thought also. After seeing the high quality finish of the X-Package wheels close up, I like them just the way they are.

I used my stocks for a winter/snow tire setup, and I just picked up some G-Spyders for summer
