Default BBS on 3is, yes or no?

Still have my OEM wheels from my previous car (Evo X) and thought I'd try them to see before selling them...

Can't decide whether I like em or not...

What you think? They are 18x8.5 +38

The wheel itself is very good. I like most rally car wheels.
However, I think this specific BBS looks too wild on IS
This is just my opinion.

I'd say it looks a little busy. But BBS is some great quality wheels definitely!

Really nice wheel, and since it's already paid for, i'd put them on and enjoy them for a while.

wow, surprisingly i kind of like how this looks from the picture. If you wouldn't mind actually giving it a shot and posting some pics that would be great. I've never thought it this as my best friend has an evo mr but man i feel like those bbs rims would really complment the 3IS well. if i like how it looks on yours i might get em myself haha

I like the look, but a 19 would be better IMHO... Would like to see the whole car with them on

if you have it already then why not, looks different than any other f sports. I would go for it, the car should handle better with square setup anyway.
