Its just that if you are gonna spend thousands of dollars on new tires, and rims, why not spend the extra 200 bucks to lower it an inch and the car will look a million times better.

I know I have the stockers but they are black and I'm stock height with a non sport suspension option...is not low cuz I havent being able to put the money together for coilovers and spacers, really scared to blow my ride quality away and waste the money on springs

Default on factory sport springs
No current plans to lower though I might consider coilovers at some point. Wheel and tire size are in my sig.

Great looking cars guys. I agree with most. I have had 6 cars in the past that I have lowered and hated them everytime. Yes, they do look alot better but at this point in my life, ride comfort is more important. I think they look great not lowered with 19s. Ill have to go with that combo. Plus I have sport suspension anyway. Keep the pics coming folks!

These are exact wheels I'm trying to get for my IS350!!! What are the widths and offsets of these wheels?

AME are not cheap ... if you really want to know PM me. Suffice to say you could also get nice forged wheels like Volks at that price point, so get what you like and can afford. For me it was worth it 'cause nobody else has these wheels around here. Everyone rocks the Volks and Work etc. and I wanted to be different.

Sport suspension is 0.4-0.5" lower in the front only. Rear height is same as stock. Besides the height, if you had a Sport package car the interior would have no wood (just dark grey and silver plastic), and you'd have sport pedals.
