Default Pic Request for Obsidian IS

Hey guys....so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I obviously have an obsidian IS and I can't decide wether to get black wheels w/ chrome lip OR silver wheels in either 19s or 20s. Can yall help me out with the look. I will be a doctor in 2 1/2 years so I'm tryin to look a little bit on the conservative side if you know what I mean. Thanks!

By the time you become a doctor in 2 1/2 years, you'll probably be ready to move on to newer, bigger, and better car.

In my opinion, I would go with the silver. For some reason, I don't see black rims with a chrome lip as being "conservative" but thats just my opinion.

Nonetheless, good luck. Post pics when you have decided...

haha i agree....doesn't seem very conservative, but I have always wanted that black on black look. oh in 2 1/2 years I will be investing in an IS-F (new model) i believe if its true the new models will be out in 2012 thats for damn sure!

dont just get silver, get aluminum, they have the craziest shine to them during the day and at night

If u must go black, get full black or full gun metal, like Joe Z's Five axis wheels, those look sooooo sick. The chome lip as everyone said gets old, fast!!!!!!!

I took them off temporarily. It snows where I live so I bought a set of snow tires and wheels from Tire Rack. Trust me those stock wheels are going back on. I really like them
