Default I like to keep it simple...

I saw these on a 350 at the dealer. They were 19's. Very sharp looking and I'm probably going to get these when I finally get my IS.

I'm liking this rims. Just came back from the Lex dealer. First time to test drive the 350. So awesome. $43k with premium/nav/ml/sport packages. Ouch. (so maybe a week or 2, i'll bring one home ***crossing fingers***). If that said, I'll probably have to wait for a while before I could get one of this nice lookin' rims.

The first pick of gun metel looking rims look nice. I have a Smokey Granite Droping in port soon and am deciding on a rim. Anyone have a pic of these on a Granite car? Or anyone with photochop skilz.

I know that a 20x10 Momo weighs in at 26 pounds. I wonder what the stocks weigh in at?

tim817 is correct. The stock wheels weigh about 27 lbs each. I shipped 4 of those in individual boxes in the past.
