Default new shoes for the IS250 AWD

So I got some new 2011 ADR rims for my car, they are 19x8.5 wrapped with 235/35/19. What do you think?

Stock wheels are awesome for the most part. I give a lot of credit to the designers with the exception of maybe the interior. However these are very compelling wheels but i would agree that they are not my cup of tee. interesting in design but a bit before their time.

I think they may have put them wrong. Judging by the design you would have to switch the driver side wheels with the passenger side wheels. it would make the blade like design on the wheels make a lot more sense and give the impression of movement that way.

She must be blind man completely not the same, those rims are not my style, they look like they belong on a Civic. My 2 cents.

I agree, they are before their time. The design is not available online unless you order directly from them.

I think it is just a bad picture off my iPhone. The wheels are rimless with flat black intricate designs that are not seen in the picture.
