Thumbs up Official Infrared IS 500 thread

Following the trend of other color-specific threads, I figured it was time to get one going for the incomparable Infrared. Post up picks of Infrared IS 500's here!

The best part once cleaned & under the blazing sun on a clear summer day!

My car's twin.

I feel the BBS wheels look best on colors like Infrared. OK maybe just Infrared. I really like the design and the satin black finish. It's a nice change compared to most other brands that have gloss black wheels.

I agree, at first I thought I should have gotten the Enkei wheels, but the BBS wheels really stand out despite and because of the satin finish.

The darker finish wheels looks great on the Infrared. I get many compliments on the color combo.

I don't mind the silver Einkei's as well with a colour like Infrared. I think it provides a nice contrast. I think the darker enkei's I have on mine are somewhat of a middle ground between the silver enkei's and the BBS.
Regardless of the wheels, Infrared is such a rich colour. I know Mazda has a similar colour.

It's been kinda yucky weather lately, but I had to get out and get some fresh air today. Hopefully I'll wash it tomorrow.

Even under a cloudy sky, I like this paint!
