Default Request Pics of black oem wheels on dark ISX50

I was wondering if anyone has pics of black oem wheels on a obsidian or black sapphire IS.

Even someone can photoshop one would work for me.

thanks everyone

Slee,

Try the photoshop forum. I have seen these OEM black wheels (AWD 17's and the 18's) at my dealer on a display rack and I bet they look great on a black IS.

What? OEM wheels come in black? I am going to surf around to see what they look like. I wish the IS-F OEM wheels could fit my 250.

Erin I am pretty sure the IS-F rims will fit the 250! they just wont clear the front caliper on the 350 since they are larger. You should look into it if you are interested.

I was pretty sure another member that has the 250 purchased these rims not to long ago??

And the OEM rims do not come black from the factory. You can have them painted or powder coated if like the look! I like how BLK rims look on a BLK car! That was my original plan but fell in love with the Work rims

Ew...now that I see them on the car, not my cup of tea. I think some black aftermarket rims with a lip look better.

Yeah, I've been toying around with idea of black rims. I like chrome too (despite what most people think). I've seen some pretty nice set-ups on the Aftermarket wheel thread.

Are you sure about the OEM IS-F wheel? I thought I read a post by Joe-Z saying that they wouldn't work? Then again he was probably talking about the 350.

I know for sure it was the IS350 as it was his car. Check before you do please but I am pretty certain. I think a 250 member purchased IS-f rims not to long ago in the classified section? maybe the thread is still there?? I like the look of those rims! you can save $$ if you go aftermarket but the car will look good either way!

Thanks Brian and GMan for the help.

Erin the ISF wheels will fit. Joez was a 350 which has bigger brakes. I dont think it fits the AWD because of the extra clearance.

I think i might to gloss black or color match the black sapphire.

I'll probably either go with something in a hyper black finish or black gloss w/ chrome lip. Then I can hear it from everyone about suspension and a drop...geez here comes my car stucking my money dry. I really like the iForged Daytonas.
