Default Black Rims for 2014 IS350

I'm interested in changing out my 18 inch rims with 18 inch black rims for my IS350. Any make & style suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I thought about going up an inch, but decided to stick with 18 inch in size so I know it limits some of the brands out, which I'm ok with. Thanks

What color is your car?

black rims, i'd prefer if they had more spokes.

I'm on the same boat here. Atomic silver car looking for 18" black/deep grey wheels. I am considering Enkei Raijin, but haven't seen any 3IS with them so far.

Here is a picture of how a matte black 18" Raijin looks on an S5. It looks pretty big for an 18" IMO, thought is was a 19" when I first saw the pic.

I ended up ordering these black Enkei Raijin rims in 18 inch for my car. I should have them on by end of next week so I'll post pics.

Ohh black would look great on atomic silver... but the gunmetal stock rims look pretty fly already as well. Hard decision.

Enkei has lots of really nice options for you in the 18" size.

Enkei M52

Enkei EKM3

Enkei SR6 is a good looking wheel with the polished lip

A few others...

Advanti Racing BO Bello

OZ Racing Ultraleggera is a great looking wheel too

Wheels for a 2014 Lexus IS 350 AWD

One thing to keep in mind, that I learned from personal experience is, once you take off OEM wheels,you may take a hit financially if you ever trade in your car. I just sold my BMW E60 and got less for it as the dealer told me the after market wheels took away from the cars trade value!

That's why you keep the factory wheels and then put them back on when you go to trade in your vehicle.

I had the Raijin's on my 3IS. Powder coated them Hyper-Black and I loved it. Only thing I didn't like was the +35 offset for both front and rear on a staggered setup. I ended up selling them after continuous rubbing issue with the TEIN springs I was previously on.

Looks great, man. Are those 19's you had on your car? I would appreciate more pics since I have kinda torn between 18' and 19' right now.
BTW how wide were the front and rear wheels?
