I like the second set more. Just put no the center cap.

In my humble opinion though, if you want to stay 18", then stay with stock F-Sport wheels. They are the best looking 18" wheel on the IS, in my opinion.

Should have rolled stock instead, that imo looks like crap.

Looks okay. With the amount of money you spent on the rotas, tein H tech springs, and the next set of wheels, you probably could have gotten decent coilovers, and or a used set of VSXX......The H tech springs are probably about the same amount of drop as the F-sport ones.

Lowered on stocks > Not lowered / 1" drop with cast wheels

To each their own. Good luck with your build :)

Some of you are harsh! I like it.

i like this most recent setup with h-tech.

Sffd103 04-11-12 08:34 PM

the black looks better cause they are bigger looking wheels. I wish it was lower but I know SF streets and people inside don't mix.

iRyan 04-11-12 08:37 PM

If I had to choose...I would pick the first set...

Alias 04-11-12 08:40 PM

I like the second set up, just wish it was lower. But keep it up!

JEFFOS69 04-11-12 08:49 PM

I think they look good - just need to lower it more

Not loving the gold wheels on a blue car.... As for the springs, I am running the F Sport springs and sit lower than that. Drop that car, and go with a better wheel and it will be sex! Car looks good, just gotta tweek the look.

I like the design and the size (I don't like overly large wheels on small cars... not to mention that large rims are functionally worse in just about every single way), but I'm not a fan of two-tone wheels of any kind. I think it would look a lot better if it was all gold (bronze?) or even all brushed metal.

Those arent LC818s, they are Avant Garde M310s. LCs dont come in 18s. RoxXxCo is my watch company. I could of went a dozen of different ways. I could of just spent an obscene amount of money on bags or coils and rare JDM wheels or some crazy forged ones. Like I said I'm getting older and I drink a lot more and sometimes I just forget Im lowered and kill the bumper. Ride on coils is a bit too stiff for me and I wont break a sweat if I curb these wheels, I can always just buy another. Curbing some 3pc JDM wheels or Forged ones would hurt as well as time to find replacements etc.

I had F-sport springs on my CT, ride wasn't all that and it isnt much lower than H-techs. I could always go H&Rs to go a little lower.

I prefer the gold wheels but I would say keep it clean and ride stock if your worried about messing up the aftermarket wheels. I think our cars stock look so damn good. Today I caught myself staring at a woman driving a completely stock silver F-Sport. Lol.

I saw your car at kukje market the other week!
