yeah the 18" wheels with the lip look small for an IS, i would go 19" without lip or 20" with lip would look good, i am rolling 20" with lip, i think they look perfect for IS. it just my though.

Hey guys,.... I agree the bigger wheel does look great but living here in Toronto where the roads are brutal I'd go nuts feeling every bump.
Cheers,. Edz

that's a nice wheel design. close the fender gap, might look okay even though they're 18s with a lip.

18's with a lip would loop pretty good with a drop. it wont make them look so small. for some reason, id also put some black lug nuts and keep the lip as the only thing chrome.

sometime not everyone are welling to spend that amount of $$$ on wheel, some just want to look different from stock, and get them from point A to point B, although I mod my car as well, but I do feel that I I shouldn't spend that kind of $$$ (or that much) on moding cars sometime.

I hear what you’re saying but it’s never worth it IMO. My last car was a BMW 528 with the M package I got the M5 wheels paid a fortune and in the end sold the car when I decided to get a new car.
