Default IS 350 with 20" Asanti 128s (Poor Man's PS ; ))

Hello everyone!!! These are one of the rims I'm considering to buy for the IS 350 (I don't even have the car yet) Since I don't have PS I had to use MS Paint to do this so it won't look as nice as other real PS postings in here. I think it gives the car a sporty, yet luxurious look.... What do you think??

Poor Man's Photoshop is an understatement - always like white and chrome, but more of a sporty chrome look -- nice pic. I would prefer 19s myself.

Just my opinion, but these don't look good at all. Keep shopping....lot of nice wheels to consider, but forget these.

Yes, I agree. Have you ever been to a police department's evidence storage? Those rims usually mounted on drug dealers' cars. Most of the impounded vehicles waiting to be auctioned off have those rims on, and they do look UGLY! Keep your car's value up (and possibly away from drive-by shooting) by shopping for other rims!

Alex, you have skills. I couldn't do it on MS paint like that. If u need a good photoshop, i can hook you up with the newest solfware called Corel Paint Shop Pro free. Pm if u like to get it.

I think they look pretty good. A lil big, but still look real nice. It's nice to see things other than stock! I think this car should have chromer type wheels on it, but I'm not used to picking those types of wheels out. My last ones were work meister S2R's in burning black. Nice wheels

I guess there are mixed feelings about the Asanti wheels. I like this style because it has a similar design to the BMW M3 classic 10 split-spoke design. When I first outfitted my other car, a 1994 Toyota Corolla, with 18" Momo Sport wheels people had mixed feelings as well, I guess it all comes down to personal preference. By the way, here are several pics of the car....
