because sometimes its truely hard to decide on what wheels you want to put on your car, so you ask some of your friends on what they think is the best route to go.


Personally i like the wheels themselves but i dont know if they fit the car. The IS has oversized features like bumpers and mirrors, so to put wheels on that have only a few spokes that are skinny isnt what i would go with.

But then again, if your going to go with upgraded brakes like i think i heard to speaking about at dinner, you might want to go with those. Also weight might be a factor to you, and those wheels look like they are pretty light, but im not sure.

I would get them done to be the same color as the car instead of that darker grey. I know you want to keep your car sleek and not too flashy, so having everything match might be a plus for you. Especially if you are planning on doing the front and rear lights tinted silver to match the car.


Ok i think im going to go back to sleep now, i just needed my CL fix.

I'd say go with the Volks. I read an article that said Volk is the best made wheel in the industry, bar none.
