Thanks everyone! Took me a long time to decide on those. Working in the tire and wheel industry has its advantages I was thinking of 19's but with the 70 mile commute and larger cost in 19" tires I decided on the 18's. Can also use the stock Dunlops that come with the car instead of wasting them. Went with 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. The IS350 HAS to have staggered tires and the rear size wont fit an 18x8 so you have to use the 9's out back. The diamond black is crazy. My wife and I have been looking at them all night. Almost looks silver in the sunlight, dark gray with the living room lights on, and almost black with just a table lamp on. Usually not a huge fan of dark cars (I have an SGM on order) with dark wheels but something about these wheels just did it for me. Was a pretty price to pay but I think it will be worth it. Never had wheels of this caliber before so I'm real excited to get them. Thanks for all the compliments (my Italian Greyhound Casper favors the boxes lol), I'll def post pics when the car arrives, rears come in, and when the car gets lowered.

 

Dogs are the best!!!

 

Those are very nice wheels

 

Very nice goodluck with them and the car. What did they cost you ?

 

The wheels and dog pic is sweet. Good looking wheels. Hope the car comes soon.

 

You dog is waiting patiently too.

Mine rides with me everywhere. In fact, I think she enjoys the acceleration.

Back to topic, I've pretty much narrowed my rim choices down to the BBSes or the OZs. The pictures look awesome! Can you share the rim size and offset for the fronts and the rears please?

Are you using the stock TPMS or did you order another set?

Did you get a good deal on them or did you just bite the bullet and pick 'em up? All the snow is gone and it is time for some new shoes!

 

Yeah, love my dog man. We don't have kids yet but we consider him one.

I went with 18x8 40mm offset front and 18x9 45 mm offset rear. I just didn't want to drive the distance I do every day on 35 series 19" tires, especially when I lower the car. My G35 was rough enough like that. Not good for pot holes either.

Now the 18" fronts in diamond black are being discontinued but the rear 18x9's are a new fitment BBS just came out with, that's why they are on backorder. I'm going to use the OE 18" wheels for winter and already have new TPMS sensors for these wheels. I can't say exactly how much I got them for, but working in the performance automotive industry does provide a little price break. Still was hard to swallow though!

 

 

hahahaahah thats great

 

Very nice wheels!

 

could of gone with better fitment but the wheels look good.

 

Those wheels are just the thing!

Since you don't have the car to show us yet, can we have more pictures of Casper?

Maybe one of him out for a drive in your carrent vehicle.

 

Here's one of him just hangin out on the couch in the sun like he does every day. Dealer called, my car will be here this week so Casper may be pimping it sooner than expected hehe
