thanks again for all your input. scdroptop, they are 18" by 8". Both the chrome and the black/blue rims. Jerry, why the first gen IS over the 2nd? Like i said earlier, the chrome ones are bent so the ride is poor with them. That is why I got the black rims, and I want to incorporate a murdered-out look with the black rims, get black tint and tint out my tail lights....maybe debadge??

Hi Mark,

"Jerry, why the first gen IS over the 2nd?"

I believe that the 1st gen IS is a IS300 & the 2nd Gens are IS250 & IS350; but I may be wrong.
