Default Wheel ideas for Glacier Frost

I just recently purchased an 2007 IS250 Glacier Frost Mica in color. I want to purchase some 18" or 19" wheels for it, But would like some suggestions from forum members. My budget is under 2K for wheels and tires so as much as I love some of the forged wheels on here.....Not practical for my daily driver. I have searched this site and seen some awesome wheels, but will chrome be my only option with that color? Thanks.

Silver, polished, and black looks good on GFM.

Congrats on the purchase!

Came across these Rays Grams...I think they're hot, plus you just don't see them everywhere.

agree with the consensus, black, silver, or gunmetal colors look best.

I will be tinting the windows pretty dark next week so I thought Black might flow well but those gun metals look good too! Aaarrrrrgggghh. I can never decide.......

Another thing........I will NOT be lowering. (I know, I know, but it is a everyday family vehicle not my show car) So that has to affect my wheel decision also. Some wheels will look great on a car lowered and not one stock height! So you see my dilema...... Help with some suggestions or pics.....please

Then you might need to consider 20's if you want to fill the gap between tire and fender.

I will consider them. I sure dont want a huge gap! A little is fine. What do you recommend 20 x 8 front 20 x 9 rear?
