I don't think the color of the wheel affects fitment . But I would defiantly find out the correct answer before buying

What are you lowered on? I've been going back and forth on these wheels as well. I believe that Wheeldude recommends 235/35/19 for the front & either 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 for the rear.

I Have the gold dynas with the 28 offset and the front rubs a little but I used a heat gun to push back the plastic. Now its fine. Looks real flushed.

Really? What size tires do you have in the front and what springs are you lowered on?

Actually as of right now it does.

The Hyper Black w/ Polished lip and Gold w/ Polished lip are a newer batch that have a +28mm offset in the front.

With the new batch that has the 28mm offset, you will be able to run them on the IS350 without having to run spacers

The only color that needs spacers right now is the full hyper black

The new machined finish with clear coat (polished) will be available with a +28mm offset

Those will be in stock end of this month.

Yes, I know the color doesn't matter but currently that is one of the color choices that supports the IS350 BBK without the spacers and I did ask Wheeldude and he was not 100% sure on the rubbing. So that is why I posted here to ask any other folks with similar offsets.

Thanks for the quick replies Wheeldude. Looks like I should be ok and maybe have to heat and push back the inner liner some. I am thinking of 235/35 tires in the front.

I like the contrast of the polished on a Black IS.
