I actually like the blue, it stands out on the silver, just lower it and call it a day

Those wheels work great on your car. Although, lowering the car would look better, its not bad with your sport suspension set up (maybe because its 18"s, not so thin tires). I would lose those lugnuts (those aren't blue, its turquoise). Just my opinion.

Oops, my bad. Your right. It's turquoise not blue and I made the mistake again when I added the poll.

Please guys/gals, help me a little on what I should do with those lugnuts.

Thanks

Didn't read the rest of the other replys, yet, but dude...delete the blue lugz ASAP, they are killing the look of the otherwise good looking set of wheels. Edit: Yep, I've seen the red ones, they look good in that particular application; however, there is nothing blue, er turquoise on your IS...lose em.

Overall the wheels look good; good choice!

x3 time for a drop.

Can you get wheel locks in blue? I don't think I would bother putting new wheels on without at least one lock per wheel.

the blue lugnuts adds a feminine touch to the car IMO. Also reminds me of some of the wheels I used to see on riced out Civics in my area a few years ago.

A drop will probably give it a meaner stance

Yes there is a turquoise wheel lock to match it.

Keep the blue lugnuts. I think it gives off a nice contrast to the wheels. All you need is to lower the car at least 2inches and you are good to go!!!!
