Default New Wheels - need inspiration

Hello fellow Lexus'ers.
My summer tires are rolling their final miles this season and Im planning to buy a whole new set of rims and tires, and put winter tires on the 17" originals. Ive come to the decision to upgrade to an 18" for a little more sportier look. Ive gotten inspired from the F-Sport 18" from Lexus, but they are a bit too pricy for my liking so im searching for aftermarket lookalikes and have found a few thats gotten my interest. Before I make my decision I want to keep my mind open but have a hard time "imagining" how one tire would look at the car without seeing a picture. I was thinking if maybe you guys could post some inspiration of your cars or any rims that you see fit well with the IS.

Worth noting is that I have the Matador "Wine-red" color and prefer gray or brushed wheels. I usually dont fancy pure silver or pure black tires.
Cheers

Have you tried some websites that sell wheels?
When shopping for my winter wheels, the TireRack site lets you see what they’d look like on your car (mine is also that red).

I live in Sweden and from what I've found on the websites is very rarely a car preview feature and when it is avaliable it's hideous and looks like someone tried to merge two pictures together with ms paint. Furthermore I want some inspiration on what people chose for their IS.

I say this in no negative manner, but this is why people need to spend more time looking for answers that are available already.

i would say its a lot to do with getting used to the Forum...every Website can be different and sometimes its Post before Search


isn't a bad thing but does create "double post", "Search", etc.
