Biggest size is 18x8. Thanks for your input.

I think they look good , but if 18" is the biggest they've got, then I would rather stay with the OEM wheels and maybe invest the money in a suspension when it comes out.... and if that's what you like, of course!!

Well stock AWD rims are 17" so 18" is an upgrade for sure but not by much. 19" is what I prefer but I can't seem to find anything in 19" that I like.

The price I'm getting for dirt cheap cause I'm getting semi sponsored by a local shop who would like to be the first one in town to have one of the new IS modified. But I don't think they are very expensive at all anyways, retail is approximately $450-$500 USD per rim.

If anyone can find something in 19" that look similar, don't hesitate to post. I just can't seem to find any for a decent price. Plus with 19", the price of tires are what's going to kill me.

check out the group buys on lexion and work wheels. expect to pay around 3000 for a good set of wheels and tires. or go on ebay and find 19s for 500-600.

Clean and simple design...just curious, what car did you have in mind when looking at the wheel(s)?

They look ok, plain, and simple, but I think you should find something that brings out your car more, there's a group buy going on for the Work Wheels, check those styles out.

I think they would look good on the IS. They are a bit plain though so you may get bored with them quickly and want something different
