Default IS250 AWD rims

Hey guys glad to be a part of CL. I have an 08 IS250 AWD. I want to get the 17"chrome rims once the spring weather comes. Anyone have pics on their car? My parts rep told me he can get the mounted and balanced with the dunlop tires for $2k. Does that sound like a good price? Also the dealership will store my current rims.

if you want to run factory, bumb up to the 18x8.5 ALL AROUND NOT STAGGERED that is commonly seen on the IS350's.....you buy some highlander hybrid rims which are the same design as the IS350's but come in 17's....

i personally would not chrome the 17's, i would find something after market. and for 2g's you can find some pretty decent stuff.

lets say this together, the dealership = stealership. just busting man, but that is a rip off.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but ISPs are not recommended for IS 250 AWD. To my knowledge, AWD IS 250s wheels are recommended not to be staggered. The ISP wheels are staggered. However, the G-Spyders are not (18” Front & Rear)

Get 2 sets of fronts, if possible.

I've also read wheel on a AWD should never be staggered buy you can buy 4 18X8 size ISP Wheels.

Do not go through your local dealer, they have at least 50% mark-up margins!!!!

lost cause.... Just look in the Aftermarket wheel section and view peoples signatures if they have a AWD. What ever they did should work for ur car. But when you go into the dealership just take the wheels off.
