Thanks panda!

Has anyone ever asked if they are aftermarket? My biggest problem with them is that they do not look like what would come stock on a car (and I want the stock look).

How does this look like Aftermarket? Similar wheels on Audi A5, and z370.

But if I were you, I'll take the IS Convertible wheels.

sorry man, my car's pretty filthy right now haha. have a lot of brake dust on the front rims as well, so you won't get to see much detail from pics of my car. I can send u some pics a bit later, after I wash her. but here are a few links from other members who posted pics of the exact same car. there were a couple more '09 obsidian IS posts from what I remember where the new owners took some sick looking pics but I can't seem to find them through search right now. hope this helps.

Depends on the dealer.. when I was negotiating with my IS350 I asked them to swap the current wheels/tires with another car that had brand new Dunlop's on them.

Thanks

Is the Obsidian metallic at all in person, or just regular black?
