It's a little ricey, for my taste.

By the way, I see your signature. Your IS is not "black." It's "Obsidian." And it's not "grey." It's "Tungsten"...

I hate the chrome on black theme. I'd say either get them all black or all chrome.

By the way, have you checked out our Wheels Classified forum? You can get a good deal with other CL members...

Good luck and keep on searching. You can also get ideas with the Official IS Wheels thread above on the main IS page.

Since your car is all black, it's nice to go with the whole black theme. "Afraid of the Dark?" comes to mind. My friend has a Scion tC and it's a smokey grey metallic with matching rims and license plate frames to match. Plus the tinted windows made it look too sick. It's really nice.

There's too much glare on the wheels in that pict. If it was all black, it would look really nice.

Also, what kind of exhaust system do you have?
