Post #6 does not include specs. I read the whole thread waiting for someone to say what the Porsche fitment is. Someone does and they get criticizd for it. So un-CL. Leave the poor kid alone.

And if the spec you got frm the net is ture then they will not fit to your IS since the P.C.D with IS is 114.3 on the other hand Porsches is 120.0
either way, relax guy. you;re the only one getting worked up over it. a little reading goes a long way.

Would you put Nismo or AMG wheels on a Chevy? It just doesn't match well, at least that's my opinion.

in my opinion, you would be better off with a japanese wheel company to better match the car.
I don't see what the company has to do with matching the car. I couldn't care less about the brand really. I want something that's durable, not cheap and ricey and that I like. I think rims are all about personal preference.
I'm looking for black rims with a chrome lip. But I don't want much of a lip at all, I like the whole thing to be flush with each other. I prefer 5 spoke. If I find a brand with all that, I really don't care what the brand is, as long as it is reputable.

Isgrrl, check out the 5-spoke Falken Koblenz wheel at Falkentire.com. It comes in black, with a chrome lip. You can see them in person at Wheel Specialists in Tempe. I almost got the machined face version of that wheel for my IS, but I wanted something a little cleaner and more flush looking. They were reasonably priced. If that wheel doesn't suit you, they have tons of others to choose from at Wheel Specialists and were pretty helpful. Their website is wheelspecialists.com
