same situation, even with the black:
Zoeb,

This is the pic that sold me. We have to capture the same effect on the IS.

Joe/Zoeb/Club Lexus Member's - Sorry for the confusion with the pictures I shot the pictures during the middle of the afternoon and it was very bright (First time the sun's been out in awhile ). When I first pulled them up on my work computer the wheels appeared very dark and I could barely see them. I brightened them up a bit in photoshop and on my work computer the pictures actually looked great (not overexposed or too bright). My work monitors were obviously not calibrated properly and when I got home I was shocked at how PS'ed the pictures looked (well they were, but you know what I mean hehe ) The first post has been updated with the new photos, sorry again to disappoint and cause any confusion!

It was nice meeting you the other day Joe! Your car is stunning in person Sorry again for the poor editing on the first go around, hope the photos in the first post display your car better

The silver face looks amazing! I love them on your car. I'd like to see the same silver face on that white IS.

No worries Dan!

Without seeing the pics, Iwould have never seen the way my car looks on a forum. I removed the vinyls to get a better flow with the black wheels. Car is much cleaner looking.

IMO - you can truly appreciate these wheels once you see them in person...tough to capture the concavity and satin black finish on camera.

This coming Monday, I'm replacing the tires (one size smaller) to eliminate the crazy rubn on the front, plus I'll be able to lower another inch. I'll try to stop by the shop afterwards.

Nice! I have a set of gunmetal TSW Nurburgrings on my IS350 and couldn't be happier! Concave wheels are the BEST.
