Default 20" Asanti 128s or Modulare M3 wheels

I placed an order for an IS 350 and I'm planning on purchasing 20" Asanti 128s or Modulare M3 wheels for the car. Has anyone here purchased these rims?? And if so, could you please post some pics, so I can see how they look in "real life" pics?? Thanks!!!

This is a chop I did with MS Paint of the car with both rims...

Henry, 20" are the new 19"!!
20s will be perfect on the IS... 245/30-20 + 285/30-20 are very close to the stock tire diameters.
Since the car comes with 18s, 19" is hardly an upgrade, in my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion on the wheels I will probably try to go to a shop and see the wheels personally, before I make my final decision, but those Modulare M3s look hot!!

Yes definitely!!!, as a matter of fact, tim817, one of the CL members here, put 20's on his IS 350 and they look good , check his posted threads and you will see the pics of the car. I wouldn't go with anything bigger than 20" though. Don't want any headaches with the wheels

hey thanks for the link alex. took a look, indeed it doesn't look bad at all. i would like to see a IS with 20s and lowered, maybe with kits as well. that will give a much better perspective on how it would look like. but yeah, first impressive is definitely positive!

I'm partial to the Modulares, and if I could make a recommendation. I'd like to recommend the Modulare M4's

I like the Asantis better than the M3, but the M4s look better than both
