IMHO 20 inch wheels on an IS look too big. They make the car almost look like an SUV - as in being so high off the ground.

The other problem I feel wrong with 20's on an IS is that they just look dispropotionately big compared to the size of the IS body. I would stay with 19's.

On a GS though 20's look perfect in terms of proportion to body size.

With Modulare M3 wheels... I know the quality of the pics suck a little but bear with me...I mean, there's only so much one can do with MS Paint.

Yes, my comment was based on seeing Tims post yesterday. But that's just me - I think 20's just look too big on an IS body.

However I have not seen an IS with 20's in person, so perhaps I could be completely wrong. My opinion is solely based on seeing the pics here.

i do think they look big if not dropped. But after a drop it'll make it look nicer. Now it just make the car higher to the ground.
