Sorry, no pics yet - she's dirty and IS wheels never stay clean (damn brake dust).

But here's a pic I found for G Spiders on a dark IS . . .

- Which tire center did you use (Dealer, Nat'l chain, Independent, etc)
- How did you get the wheels there (all 4 boxes will not fit in the trunk)
- What did you do with your OEM rims (Ebay, trade in, other)
- Any other tips or issues to look out for ???

Thanks for your input . . .

- I used Super Autobachs in Stanton California as they have all the mounting equipment. Another benefit to Autobachs is that they are open till 9 p.m.The fee involved was pretty cheap imo. I paid 55.80 for dismount/ transfer TPMS/ Balance and remount for all 4 new G spyders.

- I took my G spyders in my SUV to autobachs along with my IS so transporting was not a problem just find a friend who can help.

- I am shipping my stock 18's back to sewell for the $400 credit prepaid shipping labels included in package when my G spyders arrived.

- Make sure you pick an installer that is familiar with low profile tires. Many tire places do not have the equipment to mount 40 series.

Will post pics of the G spyders when i can. I got a busy work week.
