rims for the IS
from what I have seen the rims available for the IS are bad. where are the classy 5 spoke rims like something that comes on the volvo sport models? I am not looking for bling. and certainly not anything larger than the 18s. just something to set off the crystal white exterior while looking a touch sporty yet refined. leads?

I just got my Volks today and got them put on before dark so I could snap a few pictures. They are a subtle five star design two piece wheel, not too flashy.

Rear - Volk SF Challenge Diamond Black 19x9.5 +40mm - Toyo T1R 275/30/19
I am very pleased with the way they came out. They stick out just a bit more than the stock wheels to make them even with the fender.
Here's another shot from the side:

my decision is still b/t Volk SF Challenges vs. Rays G-Games 77W (money going to the same place
)

why volks over other brands?
4teh - thanks for the link man
but i dont think Lexus is gona make a manual this year, they are focusing on the younger age group, which my dealer said Lexus thinks that they where brought up on automatics so manuals wouldnt sell as well, so unforuntalty i had to get an auto for my IS250 but i dont realy notice a diffrence tbh
