What are some of the best looking OEM wheels out there for the IS300 in your opinion? Doesn't have to be Lexus wheels, doesn't even have to be the same bolt pattern with adapters, but there are a lot of cars have the 5x114.3/5x4.5 bolt pattern too, and after seeing Jimmy's car on the white FR500 Mustang wheels that looked so good, I'm looking around for Lexus and non-Lexus wheels that would fit on the IS300.

I'm okay running spacers and/or adapters if need be or doing fender work if necessary to make other wheels fit, and am curious what everyone has seen, or even if you haven't seen it on an IS300 and know it could look good on it (like M5 wheels on a SC300). I just really like the looks of nice OEM wheels over a lot of aftermarket offerings, so I'm curious what you guys think looks or would look good on an IS.

A few nice OEM wheels I can think of that might look good:
-Lexus ISx50 wheels
-Lexus G-Spyder wheels
-Mustang FR500 wheels
-Nissan 370Z wheels
-Infiniti G35/G37 wheels (the split 5 or multi spokes)
-BMW M-Parallel wheels
-Acura NSX wheels
-Acura TSX wheels
-Audi RS4 split spoke wheels (these might be my favorites, really might try to get these and make them fit)

Lexus Tourmalines FTW.

Concave spoke. 18x8 +45
CL member JoeZ had it on his IS3 back in the day. Looked real clean.

OEM wheels are typically heavier than aftermarket. Is there a reason you are looking this direction over a non-OEM set-up? Also you have more options for wheel width and offset.

I've seen a Mustang wheel look ok on this car. The X50 wheels didn't look bad either.

Not so keen on the F-Sports, but those Tourmalines are ridiculously nice. Kind of the exactly look I am going for, sporty but classy. May have to look into a set of those.

Those Tourmalines are right up my alley in styling, they are a good chunk of change though. When the time comes they're a serious consideration. I like them as much as I like the Audi RS4 wheels if not more.

I just personally prefer a more OEM look, that's all. There are aftermarket wheels that look good too, but most all the ones I like are huge money, and most of the more affordable ones I don't like the styling. I'm not trying to make the car look too aftermarket, just something a bit different to set it apart, but keep it mostly all OEM.

I'm with you bro. I prefer OEM look as well.

I had my heart set on the Tourmalines too...such a nice classy yet sporty look......but something else came up that I will be getting sometime next week!

If you register on Sewell Lexus you get a CL discount on everything. With the discount you save about $130ish.

I understand the want of an oem look but I cannot understand paying the prices that oem parts demand for something like this. Just my 2 cents

Just some of us prefer OEM than having aftermarket regardless of price.

Wow, I love the look of the f-sports on the IS300! Yes, oem wheels can be a good choice and many think they are more durable, able to take potholes for example better then many aftermarket wheels.
