I think option 4 looks the best from the pictures, but it also looks like picture 1-3 are 15" wheels off a 90's Civic.

Of the small Civic wheels, I would pick #2.

Lol re: Civic. The 1st of the Civic wheel actually looked nice in google search images. It's a BBS wheel called SR. The 2nd was an Enkei wheel called "Raijin" -- mind you they all looked great on smaller cars.. but there were a few previous 3 series coupes in the search results sporting them.

I wound up picking up option 4 from a local Lexus dealer. It was an accessory rim from the 06-10 Lexus GS sedan, didn't look horrible in real life. It'll do for the winter.

I actually think that was the best looking wheel anyways.

To me the spoke design looks like a totally flat version of the current RC F-sport wheel.

Good choice!

I'd stay with the 18" wheels for pothole protection and smoother ride. Final tire diameter fills wheel wells equal to 19" rims.

Good choice on option 4, will look good on your RC. I had them put on my '12 IS. Should have kept them for my '14 for winter use. Sold them to one of the service guys at my dealership when lease was up.

Got my winter tires and wheels put on today. This is a RWD with 18's all around. The wheels and tires were purchased from Tire Rack.

Your IS looked great with those wheels. They really nice rim! I ended up going with that wheel for winter as well Thanks for the input. Are you putting winters on your car again?
