Those are going to look great @sveinongen!

What color is your new 3IS and what color was your 2IS?

I also noticed you went from Diesel to Hybrid. Care to share what sort of mileage you are getting/got with both?

Thanks! My new ride is a Ultra white with Rioja Red

I think they would be decent winter wheels, they'r just 17" with 45 profile tires but that's what we need for the winter here..


On my 06 IS 220 the average milage was around 33mpg, based on other IS300h owner's they get 47mpg and higher so that's pretty good.
