I like the GS350 wheels on your car way more. Those look tiny for some reason.

Yeah. the JDM ones do look smaller because of the design... but they are light.

I think about 7-8lbs lighter then my GS350 18".

These wheels were originally for the LS and GS... probably looks hotter on a IS.

I absolutely love the wheel design. However, it does look a tad small.

Nice wheels, but yeah, I agree with the others, they're a tad bit small.
