Default HELP!!! IS250 Rim Selection

Pink Pastel ??? So i like to always be a little different, i like to always stand out. I noticed buying a Silver Car was not such a good idea. i want to get rims but i have been looking at a couple i like the 6 spoke and 7 spoke but not to fond of the 5 spoke. Now here is where i want to spice it up. i want the rims to be on color. so i need some of my fellow Lexus owners OPINION not sarcasm.

I want to do Pink but i dont know what style ...

I would suggest pink Volk TE37s! You gotta be a baller to rock pink wheels IMO .
In the end do what YOU want to do. Its your car so mod it to your liking

i think a rim with not too many spokes, and a decent lip will look good on the IS,

Go with a concave staggered fitment. 18"-19". Look into hot hues paint. They have a nice metallic pink color, as far as rims I like the spoke look. Depends on your budget. To be honest I'd get some knock off rims to
Paint. I wouldn't spend 3GS on volk rims just to paint them. My 2 pennies.

I know what you mean, to many spokes looks like its allot going on. I was looking at a 6 spoke or 7 now i do understand that i will have to get them painted so thats not a problem. I actually have a friend that works or lexus that can paint it for me. I did see the volk but if only money fell off trees i would have definitley got them ... lol

Look into rota, they knock off all the rims out there. Good price for rims and resale is easy on Rotas bc of the price.
I'm looking into the rota g force rims as beaters. What size you looking for?
