Thumbs up New Guy w/IS

Just Bought this IS with 17,000 miles. No major mods yet, already had rims and Sumitomo Tires 17'. Wanted to say hello to everyone. This is a 2002 Model. Trying to decide what I want to do and how to do it. Are there any groups or members near or in Madison, WI. ? Thanks

Welcome and congrats on your new IS, looks great!

Check out the 'Regional' forum and the Great Lakes section. I know we have a couple of folks in Milwaukee, not sure about Madison.

Did a quick search for 'madison' found a few Might want to contact those members via PM

Well, I've seen a LOT of new wheels and tires on this IS300 forum, but I think I like yours best of all.
They look like they're moving just sitting still.
