Default What would you do? Wheel/Tire Combo

I am buying new rims and tires and need help!!!

If you had an unlimited budget only for your wheels and tires for your IS350, what would it be? Be honest and realistic. Post brands, type, and sizes.

I'm having trouble understanding how "unlimited budget" and "realistic" go together...

That is a possibility althought is that what you would do with your "U-N-L-I-M-I-T-E-D" budget on wheels and tires? Most likely not.

Obviously if your on an unlimited budget you want to get a custom wheel, probally a brand that most people dont have. Get a nice 20" wheel with a deep lip. Or a 19" front/20" rear setup I personally like some of the styles that asanti has but you could play it safe and go HRE Just my opinion
