Deciding on Wheels
Hey Guys,
I am brand new to the forum. For the last couple of weeks I have been impressed with the numbers of pics of everyone's IS.
I currently have a lease for a 2008 IS250 AWD in black.
Would love to get the WALD Kit, but looking at getting the GFX Kit, as its OEM and cheaper when I return the car.
Things I am considering:
Black Lexus Grille Surround
WALD Spoiler
IS250 AWD Black Pearl Package
Now I am trying to decide on rims. What rims and tire package should I look into under $1800? I have considered the:
20" ADVANTI RACING REV A1
17" Black OEM Wheels:

I am looking for all black, aggressive look, but still OEM. I think the Black OEM's will look too small, but I would like the 20" to be all black.
I love the look of the WALD:
What are your opinions?
Thanks,
Cree

I am not worried about Advanti if they are knock-offs. Rims are rims. Mahora may be repackaging them for higher profit margins, as they buy through a central manufacturer and repackage them as their own branded wheel. I found Dubz Direct Wholesale that offers 19's, instead of 20's.

I am thinking of going with a darker, deeper/IS-F silver look to give it more of an aggressive look. I will keep you posted.

If you want to have more of an 'impact/difference', then I would go with aftermarket wheels.
To be honest, the Advanti's don't look half bad, but... You usually get what you pay for. They may look nice, but their quality probably is not nearly as good as Wald.

Hi guys,
Do you guys have any other suggestions as far as wheels and tires goes? I am really leaning towards the Advanti A1. Any suggestions under 20" in size?
