They should be the same size as the standard IS 500.

Tonymac1 - Thanks! I was sure I was not going to love it as the pics were leaving me lukewarm, in the flesh, it's a nice car!! Even the black wheels work great and keeping the car stock!

Tires are same, rims are also 19 but the calipers are a bit bigger. The red calipers on black wheels are sick!!

The only negative is the trunk space because of the hump but I never use it so for me, it's a moot point

honestly I wouldn’t mind less trunk space for a full size spare all my food shopping and hauling crap is done in the 250 I just take the 500 to drive it.

^^ Same, my 500 is just a toy for nice weather in the vicinity with no overnight stays. I have no kids and no one ever rides in my car...they are banned!

I think it looks really good. This doesn't look like incognito (especially when viewing the side profile in the 1st pic above) . The red brakes are on point, and the dark wheels work really well with this exterior colour.

I got to pick mine up today as well! It’s a darker color than I was expecting in person. My photos aren’t the best because it was in the shade. Congrats Wthrman2 on your new ride. I’m glad you decided to get it! I need to relax now after driving it home in rush hour.

Looks great and congrats on your new ride!

SouthBound Nov 5, 2025 04:49 PM

I'm really impressed that you liked the color, I know you weren't leaning that way. I have never seen it in person but I love your pictures and are sure that I will also like it.....that is if the Dealer comes thru. Congratulations!

Looks fantastic! Can't wait for mine to arrive! The wind color looks darker in these photos and much lighter in others. I want to see it in person. With the metallic flake does it look anything like a silver color?

I'll have to look at it some more in the sun tomorrow. But it's not like the silver cars I've had. More grey and glossy looking. You can see the metallic flake up close. At least what I saw today. It's kinda hard to describe. Very unique and not like silver, pearl white, or greys we've had.

sodbuster1 - Yeah, I was envisioning a more "whiter" than "greyish" hue however, in natural light, it really is a few shades lighter than Incognito that is for sure. I recall seeing the Incognito in person and right away, feeling it was too dark for me given my bias toward white cars. I didn't have this impression at all when I walked in the dealer. I opened the showroom door, and within 2 sec, I was like "YUP, this one is coming home!!" Now I am not saying that everyone will like this colour but I was going to see it to put my mind at ease, with being pretty sure I was going to come home without going through the deal. I am shocked at how much I loved it, and this is coming from a person who has been driving a white car since 2002!! CONGRATS on yours and I am sure you will love this car!! I have had one for almost 4 years and it was gonna be my forever car, I guess this is my new forever car!

TGPCanada - Thanks!! This car is hard to photograph!! I mean I look at the pics I posted and it still doesn't look as to how it did in person. Up close, the metallic is really nice and that is also one thing I like over the Incognito that was also non-metallic (and darker). You know how violently against I am towards black wheels, but in person, these look amazing!! Especially the finish fit the red calipers perfectly, and given that all the other accents (including the mirrors are all black), these wheels just work! One other thing I am baffled by is the red interior! It is supposed to be the same as the red interior as my 2022 but it isn't! It is a more subdued red, including the seat belts and door trim. It is not as deep as the Rioja red from 2015-2019 but not as bright as the one I have now. I am not sure if it's because teh concentration of red is less and the black just blends in a bit to create a different hue for sure. I am curious what "ANSWER" will say when he sees his when it arrives.

SouthBound - I am pretty sure you will love it, If the car is in the show room, make sure you take it outside. My GM at the dealer insisted I see it in the sunshine and that is the lighting I loved the best.. Don't get me wrong, it looked great in the showroom but outside, the metallic really popped and the color has that hue that can't be described but just work. The fact the wheel are matt finish also limits the wheel from being overbearing allowing teh bright red calipers to pop!

Few more pics, sorry for spamming the thread (oh and #20 BTW)

@wthrman2 Congrats on the purchase! See? I knew you’d change your mind the moment you see it in person. As they always say, to see is to believe. Now that you love the wheels, I guess you won’t be parting with them anymore, eh? 😆

It’s interesting to note that yours is No. 20. I guess the cars were already allocated to the 40 Canadian dealerships even before they were made. I ordered mine on May 20th thinking I’d get No. 1. Lol. 😂
