after seeing demik's Is and what it looked like with 18's in appropriate size, offset i decided to remove my 19's and go to 18's...... what do you think?
i know i know, 19's supposedly look better, i have had two sets of 19's on this car and never totally happy.......these to me give it a clean look the way i wish it came from the factory......
18x8.5 front 38mm offset 225/40 18
18x9.5 rear 38 mm offset 265/35 18

thanks for the compliment, demik, see if you can run a 9.5 up front with 32mm offset it should work, it would give that GTR face look all around, would look sick.

Congrats on a nice setup. Looks real good and it's functional too. The 18's looks more proportional on the IS compare to 19's and 20's. If you can somehow put the Lexus Centre caps on and paint it the same colour as your wheels that would totatlly look stealth!

More pics of your ride please!

I really lucked out on my center caps. The OEM caps fit my TSW Nogaro's very well.

nice to see other people bucking the trend and running 18's

I bet that workemotion emblem could be removed pretty easily. I've seen lots of aftermarket wheels with those types of emblems partially missing just from age.
