Default Need some help on rims for white IS please

Im pretty new to CL and with is300.net being down I have no where else to turn for advice (sad). Anyway Im looking for a set wheels:

- 18x7.5 or 18x8 all around

- I have a 2001 Diamond White Pearl IS300 stock height (for now) and no body kit (for now).

- Im looking to spend for wheels and tires up to $2700

- I'd like to go for a gunmetal look with a polished lip (thought about bronze but not too sure)

What are your suggestions for what and where I can go to purchase?

-I have been looking at Volk Gt-n's for awhile but Im also liking the CE28n, LE28n', G-games 77 wolf 2-piece.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

If you're not stuck on the wheels you mentioned, I've seen a set of Konig Holes in gunmetal that looked pretty good. Just an idea. Or maybe the Racing Hart CR5 I think...it comes in many different colors on ewheelz.com I think. Check it out.


edit- other places to look:

www.rimstop.com

Volk makes a very nice quality wheel, you won't go wrong with any of those. Amy got a set of the Koenigs in gunmetal with a polished lip on a white IS here -->https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=111824 Looks very nice, not sure of the quality of Koenigs vs Volks though.

on a white iS I'd like to see nice high polished Work Rezax or if thats not the look your going for then I would definitely recommend the new RacingHart J8's in Bronze w/ polished lip. It'd look HOT!!! although you wont get the fat lip that comes w/ the bigger sizes!!! damn the IS and its small wheel well!!!

just dont get Manaray vertecs vr5's .....too many IS's w/ em!!! I should know... i had a set too!!!

Default Darker finish

We got a great deal on Speedline 2210's in a darker finish very aggressive 19 x 9 +55 (not for the timid) but they look great and they are on closeout for only $229.
