Default Thanks Guys, No "knock-off's". Going With The...

LSportline model 4's instead. I want the fancy look of multi piece chrome wheels but just cant bring myself to spending the $4k+ price tag that goes along with them. If it was engine work or even something I would actually benefit from I could drop it, but its just me. I cant justify that much for just wheels.

So Im just going to take a few steps back and get a smaller wheel from one of the quality / well known brands Vs buying a knock-off for the look I really want but not know what type of quality or service Im going to end up with. I REALLY would like to end up with some chrome 3pc Model 4s, that's the look / design I really like, but Im going to settle on the 1pc chrome model 4s.

Haven't been able to find any pics of the chrome model 4s on a black IS but I think it should end up looking pretty good. So thanks for all the comments and opinions on this whole subject, some could of been in better taste , but I finally get it....

So now that I've seen the light who is going to give me a kick *** deal on them with tires??? CC in hand ready to order!

Thanks again...

18x7.5 +45 F or R, and 18x8.5 +45 (R only) are the 2 standard setups recommended by LSL for the IS. Tires should be 225/40/18 all around for 18x7.5, or 225/40/18 F and 255/35/18 R for staggered. L-SPortline is running a special with Pirellis that we have been authorized to move...got your PM, will send you the info MENANA.

KJS......i am sure one of the nice lads in the photoshop forum would help you out with putting those wheels on a black IS300 so you can get an idea of what you want (was that too blatant?)
