Default Just got my IS300 and need help picking rims

I just picked up my Black 04 IS a few days ago and as much as I like my stock rims, I need to replace them. I can't decide between iForged Aero, Sprint, Fulx, or Evolution. Anyone have any suggestions and/or pictures or an IS with any of these rims?

you can find is300 with aero and sprint. flux and evo, i don't know then

imho, that's really up to you coz' that's YOUR car and you should define what's nice to you. if you ask me personally i would go with aero. flux and sprint are good too, but aero is just clean. evo would be last, i don't really like them anyway

oh btw, you should talk to D2-autosport about the wheels. i know the guy, he's going to make everything happen for you! tell him henry refers you

You mean PM him here?

I like Aero a lot but some times it seems like there isn't enough spokes.

I don't want to go any bigger than 19. I don't even think you can put 20 on an IS.

I want to try this color on my black IS.

I have always liked the Evolution, they have a nice "substantial" look to them, I like the square shape of the spoke.

iForged are very nice. I used to own a set of Seneka for my silver IS.

Here's some pic of other member's ride:


19" Aero with L-Sportline body kit


18" Seneka with L-Sportline body kit (My car)


19" Evo


19" Aero (custom painted) with Neo bumper

Hope this helps your decision. Good luck!

I think I am going to get the Sprint 19x8 and 19x9 with this color.
