Question Staggered Wheels for IS

Ok, I just bent two of the ISP Mode rims, which I liked, but now have a decent reason to buy new wheels. I am getting them fixed to sell as a complete set, but I am looking to up grade to some staggered fit 19" and I have spent way to many hours trying to figure this out.

Here are my final options which you can see in my gallery and I tried to post here, but I couldn't figure out how. No I'm not an idiot but would appreciate a link reference to learn how.

Several of your cars were the ones that helped me narrow the search

1) Stick with ISP Mode Wheels - $250 to repair
2) Go with the Axis Matrix, 4" lip in back is TEMPTING $2200 w/tires
3) MRR GT-1's - Hyper Silver only 2 3/4" lip but still look nice - $2000 w/tires
4) Axis Penta - Probably around $2200 as well w/tires
5) Some other option I am unaware of that you really think I should consider.

The biggest deal for me is a nice rear lip and a balance between making the car look sporty but not like a teenagers rice burner.

Thanks for the help.

if you dont want it to look like a teenagers rice rocket, get iForged or HREs i know i would if i had the cash to burn. or is your budget set for around two grand? i would probably just repair your current rims and just save up for a set of truely nice wheels

I wouldn't mind seeing some HRE 595R, or 597R on an IS.

Pentas man. Those are sick. Who wants to spend 4000 on wheels that could get messed up so easily.

neither of those listed. Save up for nicer rims. Try checking used if they are out of your budget.
