sell both and save for some decent wheels. its one of the biggest decisions you can make with your car. if you buy the wheels and dont like them you can sell them but you will still have to wake up every morning and see your car on wheels you dont like.

i say do it right and do it once. save up for something nice that you will truly like.

Those don't look like the IS250 wheels, but they look like the ES350 Ultra-Lux wheels instead...

If you don't do anything else to your car, I think the 250's look better because they look more like 18's where as the other ones look more like 16's.

I say sell both sets and buy a really nice set of wheels. If I had to pick, though, I'd say the Veloche Venoms are slightly better-looking.
