Yea im gonna lower it, but i don't know how much i am going to lower it until i get my DUB Trumps because with the 20"s the amount of lowering will be based on the 20"s not the 19"s. the rims are idenical to the AMG rims, i am going to change the caps to blank chrome mercedes centers, i personally don't like the ASA caps, but they do say licensed by BBS which is pretty sweet.

Very very appealing but for how much they are worth you could dish out alittle more cash and get HREs. Also there are several replicas in the market that you might want to look for.

If you like them, that's all that matters.

Now that that's out of the way....those wouldn't be my first choice....actually, I wouldn't choose them at all. There are worse looking wheels but the style just doesn't seem to work well with this type of car. Maybe try painting the black spokes to the color of the car. It might look better.
Remember, it's just my opinion. No harm intended.

The thing is the PCD is not going to work on the IS...
PCD for IS is 114.3
PCD for Benz is 120 (I am not sure but it is different than the LEXUS for sure)

licesned by BBS doesn't mean its made by BBS.. ASA just paid BBS to put that on their caps (all marketing). But those 2 wheels above (the ASA Wheels and Brabus) do not flow well with the car, it does flow well w/ a mercedes though because of the body style. You can put lexus caps on it and it still won't flow well with the car. But its not ugly

The ASA one just look like AMG and they don't look good on our IS... Maybe because IS is a moden sport sedan and Benz are all classy... IMO

thanks a lot for all comments

yea, the rims are pretty expensive.. over $1300 a piece... one reason that i want to get them is because if i ever get bored of them, i can just put them on my e-class.

I have seen the replicas ones, but there are many areas on them that you could just tell that they're replica. i'd appreciate if you could let me know if you find a good ones

IS elf, I like those wheels. What size are they? The style makes them look a little small, but they are nice and unique anyway.
