Hey Guys,
I am brand new to the forum. For the last couple of weeks I have been impressed with the numbers of pics of everyone's IS.

I currently have a lease for a 2008 IS250 AWD in black.

Would love to get the WALD Kit, but looking at getting the GFX Kit, as its OEM and cheaper when I return the car.

Things I am considering:

Black Lexus Grille Surround
WALD Spoiler
IS250 AWD Black Pearl Package

Now I am trying to decide on rims. What rims and tire package should I look into under $1800? I have considered the:

20" ADVANTI RACING REV A1


17" Black OEM Wheels:

I am looking for all black, aggressive look, but still OEM. I think the Black OEM's will look too small, but I would like the 20" to be all black.

I love the look of the WALD:








What are your opinions?

Thanks,
Cree

Wow, Wald knockoffs - I guess we can call these the "Waldos." I understand the budget you've set, but I'm very much against anything knockoff.

since your car is a lease i say go for it

 

say no to knock offs
do it once and do it right

 

I am not worried about Advanti if they are knock-offs. Rims are rims. Mahora may be repackaging them for higher profit margins, as they buy through a central manufacturer and repackage them as their own branded wheel. I found Dubz Direct Wholesale that offers 19's, instead of 20's.

I am thinking of going with a darker, deeper/IS-F silver look to give it more of an aggressive look. I will keep you posted.

I think Advanti has a VS-KF knockoffs too.

 

If you want to have more of an 'impact/difference', then I would go with aftermarket wheels.
To be honest, the Advanti's don't look half bad, but... You usually get what you pay for. They may look nice, but their quality probably is not nearly as good as Wald.

 

Rims are not rims my friends.

 

I know that....I was saying this to be sarcastic. However, I don't have $4k to spend on rims, just to say that the WALD Mahora name was on the rims. I will be turning the car back in within 2.5 years. No need to go all out.

hmmm what about my iForged wheels on your car.. *look below on my sig*

 

Not bad, but these forged wheels below in black are hot...

Hi guys,
Do you guys have any other suggestions as far as wheels and tires goes? I am really leaning towards the Advanti A1. Any suggestions under 20" in size?

Cree

 

I am thinking of going with either 18" or 20" A1's in gunmetal or flat grey finish, similar to the F-sport wheels. They should look fantastic!
