I like the IS300 wheels better. I just don't like the style/look of those allesio's. That's my opinion though, so go with whatever YOU like best.

Agreed! Those Allesio's look like wheelcovers.

Yup. I have the IS wheels on my car and I love them! The only problem is that they require spacers, but they look awesome.

Rear IS wheels look surprisingly good, Fronts not so much. You need to put both wheels on though to make it easier to tell. Are you not allowed to tint the front windows where you live?

It took me 24 sec! You chose the best option. Congratulations on your new wheels. Now it's time to take care of the dent on the front fender...
