Your statement regarding the 2IS not being a Lexus is completely inaccurate. If you had left it at the 1IS, I would have agreed. Lexus took the time to ensure that the 2IS has all the bells and whistles that you get with the Lexus name. Yes, it's faster and sportier than the LS, but it's still a Lexus and it shows. Yes Lexus took a different path with the 2IS. They made it so that more high end buyers would be interested in a vehicle that combines sport & luxury. All you had with the 1IS was sport. The interior did not have any luxury qualities.
To the topic of the post.........Those wheels look like they were made for the IS. Good choice

Awesome wheel choice! 
Looks like it came from the factory that way with the drop. 
This is not meant as disrespect, but when I first clicked on this thread, I thought I was looking at an Acura TL as they come with 5 spoke wheel from the factory.
