from what I have seen the rims available for the IS are bad. where are the classy 5 spoke rims like something that comes on the volvo sport models? I am not looking for bling. and certainly not anything larger than the 18s. just something to set off the crystal white exterior while looking a touch sporty yet refined. leads?

 

the new GS430s have nice 5 spoke wheels, havent seen how they look on a IS tho

 

Yo dog, put some 22s on dat biach... Seriously I like the look of the 5 spoke designs like the Iforged aeros, Maya 5 spoke wheels, and the work vs-kf are all nice wheels.

 

Also, Ive seen a set of SSR GT3s in the classifeds that would look pretty good... 19s though.. whatever you decide post some pics up.

 

personally I LOVE the 18" wheel that came on my IS and will never ever swap them out.

 

Anyone know if the BMW 6 series rims can be put on the IS? I love those rims.

 

bolt pattern is different

 

Bimmer rims on a Lexus??? I though Euro cars and Japanese cars have totally differents offsets.

 

Found this one on ebay a while back.. I think the GS rims look pretty good on the IS:

 

I just got my Volks today and got them put on before dark so I could snap a few pictures. They are a subtle five star design two piece wheel, not too flashy.

 

can i get the wheel/tire information of your setup, width, diamater, offset, tire sizes please

 

Sure..

Front - Volk SF Challenge Diamond Black 19x8.5 +34mm - Toyo T1R 235/35/19
Rear - Volk SF Challenge Diamond Black 19x9.5 +40mm - Toyo T1R 275/30/19

I am very pleased with the way they came out. They stick out just a bit more than the stock wheels to make them even with the fender.

Here's another shot from the side:

 

any1 can post a website or somthing so i could check out those volks?

also, any one have any other recommendations on good brand rims?

 

im actually interested in these Volk SF Challenges in gunmetal, if my IS350 purchase plans go well (hoping a manual comes out)

great link i found with close ups:

my decision is still b/t Volk SF Challenges vs. Rays G-Games 77W (money going to the same place )

 

why volks over other brands?

4teh - thanks for the link man but i dont think Lexus is gona make a manual this year, they are focusing on the younger age group, which my dealer said Lexus thinks that they where brought up on automatics so manuals wouldnt sell as well, so unforuntalty i had to get an auto for my IS250 but i dont realy notice a diffrence tbh
