It's a nice wheel, but somehow it does look good on the IS. There is ISP wheel that has the same straight pokes, just smaller.

If you can post a bigger pictures that would be great.

I like it. Way less obnoxious than some of the gawdy wheels I have seen. I would take a set with a bit more gray in them please!

They look much bigger than 18"s. Looks like you gotta drop it now.

I've always like the Lexus Tourmalines - very classy wheel.

nice choice for the AWD.

18x8 all around... Tire size? 245/40/18?

These look really nice, I have been considering these as well. Question, how flush are they to the wheel wells? I believe those rims are 45 offsets. Anyways, good choice dude!

I have the same question..

I know you installed 18x8 all around (since they don't make them in 18x8.5)
But, what tire sizes did you put on Fronts & Rears ??

Thanks
