Default What wheels to get?

Ok guys i am looking into getting some wheels on my 350 sense i have some crapy tires on the front and somehow still have the stock rear tires after 50k miles.

So wheels and tires are in my short future.

But i need help. Im considering a set of Axis Shine 8.5F and 9.5R. lip i think is 2.5F and 3.25 rear. The seller (a CL vendor) suggested Falken fk452 sizes are 235-35-19 F and 2745-30-19 R.
Thats when i told him that i don't race and my priority is comfort and quiet ride...... as much as possible on 19's that is.

Could anyone here show me some pix on how they would look or something similar?

Also could any of you suggest some big lip wheels in the 2k /w tires range? please.

I know nothing about wheels so please help.

ohh i like those on the Lexus.. Any details on them like price, lip size and if they fit the is350?

I dont like the bmw wheels. I really don't like the spider web design wheels.

i think 19"s would look better. IMO 20" rims dont look very well on our cars unless the suspension is heavily modded. Just my two pennies though...

IMO 19"s are the best look for our cars. The ride isn't terrible either. As for the drop, it all depends on what you want. I am on H&R springs which gave my 2IS a nice drop that I am pretty satisfied with. Anywho, GL with finding wheels! Hope this helped, Keep us posted
