Alright a mini update. I got new shoes and started messing around with it. remember these are temp until I save up for some aggressive wheels
I need something to ride on since I am selling the other wheels. Here are a few pics.
This is when I brought it home and washed it down. (flat black)

I took off the paint on the lip to see how it would look with the black.

3 of the diff colors. I couldn't put the black one here because it was already chrome.. They all looked nice to me lol. The white would of been shiny if I used the gloss one with CC on it but not sure about going white on white for my IS..

Here is the finished project![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

What do you guys think? I didn't get to put it on the car yet because I am letting the paint dry right now and working on the other 2 haha.

Gold will look really good on white. White is hard to keep clean, but Im sure if you searched on myIS. You will find a couple of cars with white on white wheels ![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Other than that, everything is coming along nicely. Why didnt you keep the ES wheels on the IS? They looked aggressive to me![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
