reminds me of the zuber gettins.. another thing to keep in mind. i have called a few wheels shops and they tell me that the IS350 may need hi disc front wheels to clear the front caliper. let us know what you come up with. and dont forget some pics.

This is how they look on the Lexus GS. The one i'm getting will have bigger lips on the rear. Those lips are really nice.The one below is 20x8.5 with +35offset all around so the one i'm getting which have 20x10 with +43 offset will have biiger lips.

The only problems are those Volk don't come with 20's. There are plenty of good choice out there but i only want 20's. I don't see that much difference just go up one size of wheels since I like ones with lips and they do look smaller than they are. How about these:

Are you sure you want chrome wheels?
Personally, I think 5 spokes would look the best for the IS..

Too "bling" for my taste. Probably weigh a ton as well. The IS is a sport sedan that deserves a high quality light weight forged wheel. My .02
