LFA wheels are definately the best looking ones by far but are going to be the most expensive since they are rare now. Best thing to do is wait for someone to sell a set of take offs. The dealer price is a rip off on them

Easy choice!

Drive to my house.
Trade me your 17s for my liquid graphite 18s.
Drive home and spend your upgrade money on tires.

Check google. Theres several pics of your paint code with LFA wheels. In my opinion LFA wheels look good on any color IS. I may get LFA wheels myself, if I change from stock.

google images is your friend.
