Default Ok, anyone have 19 or 20" Niche Targas?

I found this pic of the RC with 20" Noche Targas and really like them. I am wondering how they look on the IS. I really don't want to go with twenties, just not enough rubber for me, and I am not lowering my car.

Any pics? Links

These wheels look similar to our stock lfa style rims, however, it looks like the arms are just a little thinner,,, which I like better. I can't tell if the pic of the RC is lowered. So I hope someone has these installed.

I just got these installed, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I went with 265s in the back and rub a bit, if you went with 255s you probably wouldn't.

Crappy pics but you get the idea.

Is your car stock or lowered?

And,, thank you.

I am starting to consider 20s now. :/

Here's a link with some pics of an IS with 20" Targas on. Looks good but not enough rubber for me.

I like the looks of the 20s, but she has that lowered. Still on the fence. Thanks for the help.

I guess I could always go with 20s and lower if it looks terrible. We live in an area with snow in the winters and dirt roads I sometimes have to drive on, so,,, you can see my dilemma. I really wish I could see the black version on someone else's obsidian

I personally think 20s look too big for our wheel arches, but a nice air setup will solve that problem

I think the 19s look good, they look better in person than in pictures for sure. They would look better with a drop though.

I'd like to drop mine but I take it to the mountains in winter so it wouldn't make sense.

Maybe I will just get 20" Gold Dayton Wire Wheel spinners and twelve switches and call it good 💂🏽

I almost pulled the trigger on these in their machine/matte black finish. But i hesitated because "machined black" can just look gunmetal in sunlight (not what i want). However, seeing them on that RC has me thinking twice again. And now finally seeing them on an IS confirms the style fits our cars nicely. Hmmmm...

I think these two wheels look even better.
