Got some nice wheels in mind for the IS F Coilovers coming soon!

Purpose:
Most likely hanging on the the looks side, but I also go canyon riding time to time.
(Yet to check the weight on the wheels hopefully there aren't like 30+ lbs lol)

Or anyone can suggest something that has 5 spokes, not a fan of a lot of spokes

Both Square setup
Should I go:
18x9.5" +45
19x9.5" +45


What do you guys think? Top to bottom (MR136 MR137 MR405)

What are you trying to accomplish with the wheels? Looks? Weight? Handling?

Appears your car is silver, or is that white? While I like chrome I think I might be getting too old for such bling. I tried an 18", didnt look right. Perhaps on a lowered car it might...

Occasional Canyon runs, and mostly for looks. No track days anytime soon!

Hey, looks like this will be a close one. I went for MR405, but also like the MR137 design.

Hopefully weight won’t be an issue with either of them, as both should look great.

Good luck, and make sure you post up some photos once you’re done and have the new setup installed.

Cheers,

Pete

I just installed 18x9.5+38 squared, with 255/40 and 275/35 gram lights. Sits flush and meaty. Will have better pics soon.

oh those would look nice, so according to offset, what causes the wheels to be "deep dish" is that the setting on the offset itself?

I have never been a fan of 18's on the ISF, but that looks great! Very well done.
