I'd like to see the 18 OEM wheels powder coated in black.

Now that would be sexy.

 

i will take a pic tomorrow for that spray and post it.

 

Thank you A.C!

 

well it turns out that it's a hair colour spray!!

i found it in a small store and we tried it on a glass and it went right off,
but you should try it on a piece of plastic or something first.
the guy assured me that it will go off on his responsibility.

 

oic OK I will try to see if I could get one of those frm any store...

 

They look surprisingly good...that sucks about not being able to have 19's

 

any update on this.. thinking of doing it

 

If it works for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, why not the IS?

 

i want to do my stock 18's, has any1 done this b4?

 

If you can get a hold of an official ISx50 brochure it definitely says that 18" rims are optional. If you carried this around in the car wouldnt that hold water with the law since 18" rims can be factory ordered, just maybe not in your country, but they dont know that. Just a thought, that would give you an extra inch, and like my wife says that extra inch goes a long way.

 

man police study brochures now? how the hell do they know that 19's aren't offered from factory?

Do they let you put 17/18s of another brand?

 

Alright let me tell you what the police like here in macau! We have a card which got all the details of your Car like size of the wheels, color and options parts (e.g. bodykit) installed... on it. So if you got pull over police could check up your car with it and they could easy spot a 19inch wheels!!

In Macau and Hong Kong 16 and 17inch are standard and no 18inch for optional in our market. In Hong Kong police don't car what size of wheels you put! But in Macau they do!

Yeah thank you! I will decide what to do in Oct since the police dept is going to take action for new laws frm 1st OCt 2007... I am crossing my fingers not being caught...

I have done it for my dad's SLK stock rims and they looks so good with the Black SLK... I am not sure for my Silver IS thou... I will take some pictures of my Dad's SLK later...
