I must be the most indecisive person I know so I apologize in advance.

When it comes to a set of Vossen CV3's on a black IS-F, Matte Graphite or Matte Silver? Thanks guys!!!!! I know it boils down to personal opinion, but I am torn and maybe you guys who have gone either route and regretted it or loved it can chime in. My biggest concern with silver is the brake dust. Which would you pick between the two?!

I like the contrast of the silver. But just have to be different

either one, but my vote is graphite, and murder out the window trim while you are at it. (like in the 2nd pic)

Graphite/ gunmetal would look perfect.. But that would be the darkest I would go, don't do black wheels lol

Thanks guys! Seems like the majority of people I'm asking are saying graphite. I do like the contrast of the silver wheels, but I can just imagine how dirty they would get with that horrible IS-F brake dust lol. At least with graphite it will blend in more.

congrats on the wheels. Are you going to lower? 20's? Not even sure if the Vossens are even available in a 19"

Thank you!!!

I was considering some swift springs, however I'm still trying to figure out if they will rub without fender rolling. The Vossen's are 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45. Tires will be 245/30/20 and 285/25/20. Noticed a few people keep it stock height and it didn't look too bad. t ordered them through need4speed motorsports, a set of wheels for my car and a set for my wife's, Dan has been AWESOME through this whole wheel buying process, he's allowing me a few days to change my mind on color before they get shipped out.

Personally, I think the matte graphite looks best. The wheels are a popular look, and I've seen them on a few IS Fs. It's a great simple look without taking away from the car as a whole. As for the drop, there might not need to be any because you'll have 20s on. I would roll the fenders just in case. Best of luck, and we look forward to the mounting and pics!

I think you know how I voted...LMAO Anyway I will tell you also that the Matte Graphite looks darker in person than it does in the pictures of the wheels alone (like you have in the OP)...just my 2 cents!
MYISF has the following setup in case u were wondering:
20x9 +38 - 245/30/20
20x10.5 +45 - 285/25/20
stock suspension, no fender modifications at all and no rubbing at all!!!
Good luck with your choice...

MYISF is in my Lexus meet up club and his car looks perfect, it def doesn't need any drop in the front. If ur going with the matte graphite choice I would get his exact same specs and u will be very happy.
