Default Let the Modding Begin

Over the past couple weeks the MOD bug has "bit" me. I recently purchased and installed a few things on the IS. So far heres what I got....

- Full GFX Kit
- F-Sport Springs
- K & N Short Ram Intake
- Tints
and a bunch of little things (HIDS,BULBS Etc..) Next on the list is wheels. I keep telling myself thats it but it never really is "it". Any suggestions on wheels for a Tungsten Pearl IS250 AWD? I'll post picks soon.
- Neil

I had a TP AWD and kept the 17" size but I put MOMO Winters and made the car look like my gen 1.

Wheels are always hard to recommend due to the vast difference in opinion. Just keep it from being too ricey.
