Sorry, but I'm not feeling them either. What are they and how much do they cost? But if you like them a lot, you should get them, it's your IS.

What type of rims are you looking for exactly?

Most of the guys here seem to prefer wheels with a lip.

That said, I think the color is not working with your white paint - makes the spokes look real skinny... maybe if you got them in a silver or gunmetal?

My wheels only had about 1 inch of lip and Im not the biggest fan of big lips on wheels but these wheels just look cheap IMO

Those type of rims don't really suit our cars. You can go performance/sporty, luxury/vip or have the OEM look. Don't really know what style those rims are but they are the type you see on Altima/Maximas with no drop. A good starting point would be to look into Work or Volks.

If those wheels are your taste then the wheels you should go for is either Volk ProgressivMe or Work Cr Kai imo they look better.
