i think it just looks like a gap because his tire is like a xxx/30/20 (maybe xxx/25/20??) profile or something. shoot us some better pics of the whole car, you only got one of those really

Not feeling the rims as well but with those rims, you need a BBK. Car looks real clean though. What else are you planning?

I would like to get bigger rotors as someone mentioned earlier but they are so damn expensive. I would also like to red out my tails. Really nothing else, like I said it's my wifes daily driver and I am not really baller status.

Your IS looks great as is. Great list of appearance items to give it the right look.

The paint is clean as hell, mad props on keeping the black that clean. With the paint looking that good, you should hunt around for different lighting to really show it off. Its a good start!
hopefully that shows the wheel gap better

No, I was originally looking for 19s but fell in love with those wheels. I honestly think in person everyone who said they hate the wheels would love them. I remember when I got them on and my wife sent me a pic of them I wanted to return them immediately. Then I got home and was in awwwwww of the look. Pics just dont do them justice at all.
