Lucky the car is staying in the showroom...I would hate to clean those Type R rims.

But like Henry said...the Type R does give it a unique look.

Default not feeling it

Personally, I don't think any of these styles fit with the lines of the new IS. Just can't explain it. What else have you got?

I actually kinda agree with you, but I picked Type C since they look the best with the car among the 3 choices . . . . .

We have more designs as you can see on both our Japan and US website, but other designs are most likely to be put on other cars for the showroom

I would go for the Black Gold wheel. If you're going for dramatic style, might as well go all the way with gold. I mean, black chrome has been around, but not gold...

Not feeling the Type C in the Black or Gold choices, would prefer standard chrome.

The Black Polished looks very nice though.

Default Polished will work MUCH better

Now, those black polished rims you just posted work MUCH, better IMHO.
The chrome just scream "cheap and tasteless" on a classy looking car like the new IS.

how about a simple 5 spoke pattern with no lip to contrast the current 'lip fad'? the flush look works well with this car. something similar to the iforged aero would work well too if you have to have a lip but I dont know if amistad does a style like that.
