Congrats!!! How about some "frontal" shots.

Keep in mind, Sunroof is optional in every other country except for the good 'ol U.S of A which is Standard equipment.

Congrats! I like those wheels, too. Are those the stock wheels on the European models?

Cool

I like the looks of those wheels too. They look a lot better than our stock wheels. Are the side markers reflectors? Would like to see a few more pictures of what the IS 220 looks like, also the landscaping there in Belgium. I was trying to identify the plants in the background.

Oh, and congratulations on your new car! Are they hard to get over there...did you have to wait a long time or special order it? What type of interior package did you get and options?

Not sure, but I think are aftermarket: in Europe (or at least in Italy) there are only two kind of wheels: 17 and 18 inches, respectively for IS 220d and 250.

You can see here a gallary with both types:

(the 220d/17" are those 'evenly spaced')
...still about 30 days to receive my 220d... cannot wait!!

Ciao,
