Default My IS350 -- Advice?








What do y'all think?

It' s a 2007.

What rims should I put on it and what size?

Also, this picture isn't up-to-date, but there's a huge crack/split on the front bumper that seems to progressively get worse. I'm thinking its time to buy a new bumper, but I don't know what bumper to buy. Any ideas?

hey buddy
wheels just look too small and needs a drop desperatley
are yours 18's? or 19's? if they are 19's they just look small because the lip kit is really bulky and your not dropped.
id say get 19's, 20's look great too but they are so heavy they will effect your braking distance and accelration
my prefrence is get light weight wheels in 19's, makes a big difference in the way the car feels, if you can't afford VOLK'S as they are expensive id say get the 19" F SPORT wheels, they are super light weight and look pretty cool ( i attached a pic ( not my car )

I'd save some money and get some coil overs first. And then some front and rear sway bars. Then I would pick up an exhaust and intake. Then maybe some JDM visors and illuminated door sills.

F-Sport wheels are a nice choice. You can also consider some forgestars, which are very affordable. A BBK looks great with a new set of rims.

Good luck with the mods.

Sorry to hear about your issues with forgestars. I've had the F14 for a bit and no issues yet. But I would swap them out for the f-sports in a heart beat.

Great looking ride btw.
