Default New to CL....need wheel advice!!

Hey all,
I'm new to CL and have an 09 Lexus IS 250 in Glacier Frost Mica. I love my car and the color. So far the only mod I've done is tints. I am now looking for wheels for her but I don't know where to start!! Any suggestions would be great!!
Also, any recommendations for my fog lights?

Thanks!!

Welcome. The stock wheels are nice but if you want to go aftermarket, the possibilities are endless. A quick search of the forum will provide plenty of ideas.

As for fog lights, you can do bulbs or hids, either in yellow or white. For bulbs, Nokya seems to be popular and so is PIAA, but it's more expensive. Also, Aerotect sells yellow fog light overlays. For HID kits, DDM tuning and HIDExtra are well known and reasonably priced.

Thanks guys! I really want black rims...19" my friend just got work vs xx rims and they are very nice...I like the style a lot.

however, I'm having another issue. I can't get my oil maintenance light to turn off...I've tried what people recommended on here but its not turning off....what's wrong?!?

If you have some familiarity with wheel brands, go to their sites and see what their current line up is. If not, look at mass market wheel vendors like tirerack and see what kind of design you like. There's also a wheel buyer's guide magazine that's out this time of the year you could check out. If you have an idea of the style (spoke pattern, details, finish, fitment), it'd be easier for someone to recommend a model.

Welcome to CL, use the search feature to search for answers. Good luck finding wheels. I suggest black wheels with polished/chrome lips.

Agreed, I love dark wheels on a lighter colored car. Maybe look at dark grey rims too, Ive got that on my tungsten pearl IS and I like it
