Money is being Saved! the weather in this state (South Dakota) is insane, so... not till march will I really start looking...And even though I am a noob on this Forum, dosent mean I havent done my homework. I do know what VIP is, (Cedric, y33, Celsior, Typical Platforms) and I also know that that Mercedes isent a TRUE platform for that.

I am keeping my car stock until I have enough to get Some Coilovers, Some CLEAN (Not wild) 18x8 wheels, Front Lip, Exhaust, & Grille. Im not interested in trying to make the most insane ride....I will probably end up getting some Works or ssr's...but I cant Justify spending more than 2k on wheels on my budget.

But still no on has answered my Question...what is the strangest setup you have seen with our cars that works? Or dosent work for that matter...Lets get silly! Stretched & Poked Dog dish rims? Crazy Rat Rod style? Hot pink te 37's? a Donked out IS?

(personally i cant imangine a Donk IS looking good, but it would be intersting to see!)

Thanks again for all the feedback!

I would say if u were thinking about some cheap oem rims that look decent on and IS but different; I would go with either the ISx50 rims or if u want something beside Lexus, maybe get some G35 oem rims. They are cheap then buying a set of Advans, works, volks ...

Contrary to the replies in this thread. AMG wheels ftw, but only these ones:

sport cross wheels will always look good until you can afford some more expensive wheels.

I just got an insane deal on this IS. Had some monoknockoffs lying around, what do you guys think? (Besides more low lol)

Also, in need of an exhaust manifold/y pipe/alternator. Pm me if you have either for sale.
