Thanks!

Just having some fun while I wait for the IS 350 that I ordered in December to get here. I included a list with the names and individual pics of the wheels as well. Let me know what wheels and what color of the IS you would like to see and I'll try to chop some for part II of this thread.

Obviously C&G. What's there not to like about i-Forged and DPE? Although I dont like the bling finish on the DPEs. Mine would have to be Aluminum with a polished lip on both wheels

I don't see how putting on chrome wheels make it look ghetto.

It's only the style of the wheels that make them "ghetto". Yes, they're heavy for sure but once again it all depend on the design. The 20s with a simple design will be lighter than a plate-looking, complicated 18s. Why do you think people paying $1,000 to get the stock wheel chrome plated?

The wheels will weight the same being chrome too after the plating.
Oh..yeah...since i'm a nice person, I'll post some pic of the non-chrome, high class wheels that you might be interested to have on your grey-old-boring color IS. I was nice not to post these comment on your thread also

. Be niceeee...

IMO not my taste but i know you will consider these "high class" non-chrome and light wheel. Good luck

I have to say this. I have chrome maya gr5's and the last thing you or anyone can say about them is they are ghetto. Nothing about me is ghetto. I have no gold teeth. My jewelry is tasteful and classy. My clothes are trendy but tasteful. I speak properly. Please don't associate my wheels with being ghetto. I know you didn't personally think of me when you made your comment but that's what happens when people make unthoughful comments. Chrome has been around before you were born. As a kid I watched 57 chevy's and 62 caddy's gleaming with chrome bumpers and chrome accented wheels. No one called them ghetto. I belive wheels look best when they shine. They don't always have to be chrome but that gives off the best effect. They catch the eye. Another thing. How much more weight is gained with chrome? Do you know? It's probably less than 2 lbs per wheel. How much of a difference is that. Are you racing your car. I sure don't.
Be careful what you say.

its ALWAYS the punks who say things like ghetto. thinking everyone online is asian or white so they can get away with the bs they spew. if they said something like that in person with the right ears listening they would get the beat downs they used to get in school. punk asses. your 'code' words mean nothing other than to reveal the fact that youre bigoted and gutless.

I think a lot more people will pick the G because it is easier to visualize that rim on most cars. It has straight spokes and is more common.

I also think people will say, "Wow, I would not have thought that rim would look so good?"

Either way you go between the two - your set!! Nice job with this post.

Thanks for the feedback!!!

Let me know what wheels you would like to see next time, so I can try to chop them as well

No, they're no black overlays... however, for those who like them, the company has optional "blades" that you could add to them in chrome or black. I think that they look their best simple and with not much going on...
