Red face Do XXR 527 wheels look good or crap on an is250?

Hi peeps! I havent posted in a while

Looking to get some more opinion on some rims, mate is selling these wheels cheap as chips; XXR chrome black.

I have a black is250 with a carbon seibon kit, would it look good or crap on the car? I'm just a bit confused LOL

One side of me says it'll look sick once its all lowered, the other side says the rims dont look that great anyway =/
The wheels:



My car:

They're cheap wheels but if you like the look then buy them.

Another vote for NO, don't think they will look good on the IS.

But if you like them a lot, just get them.

No. But if you like them and the quality then get them. Nobody's opinion but your own should mater.

They're not bad looking wheels... I probably wouldn't sport those on my IS but that's me personally. If you like them then go for it.

i have the flat black on mine, silver is250, looked better when i had front and rear lips, now my car is very stock looking and the wheels don't really match anymore, looking to switch them to some silver/gunmetal clean-looking wheels. personally i really dig the multi-single-spokes-concave look (e.g. WedsSport TC105N, etc.)

Please don't. My suggestion if you like that style... Forgestar makes a set similar, better quality. I don't know about you, but they just have a cheap feel to them.... Pay to play my friend. Your IS looks sick, treat her well.

We carry XXR, Forgestar, Vossen, and virtually any other brand you could want.
Get in contact with me if you'd like a quote on any of the sets, I can help you out!

XXR 527 would look great but I would rather save a little more and get something that's looks as aggressive.

If they were 19's they would be a bit better IMO. Seems like you have to slam to get it very good looking

The problem I see with these wheels (this is my opinion so take it as you want), is that they've got the extra holes for different sizes (114.3, 112, 120 ) doesn't that seem a little cheap to you? Seems weird for me.
I recommend saving a bit of cash, doing a little more research and investing in a wheel that will look good and last longer.

yeah you're right, the extra holes do feel a bit out of place.

I like the fact that they're concave but something about the area where the spokes meet the edge of the rim doesn't seem quite right lol

Maybe its the lip behind the spoke that makes it look funny...

In the mean time, i'll pass on the rims and look for somethin more CE28 like

Thanks guys!
