I have no idea what you mean by "too normal", "low profile", or "then you will show them POWER of your IS..."

Do you mean that the wheels aren't very exotic? If so, that was my intention. I wanted it to look different from stock, but not blingy.

Sorry if I mislead you... I mean you are pretending the IS like a normal saden then when someone trying to under estimate your IS you will show them the real POWER of the IS to them... Sorry for my bad english...

Wow, I really like those Rims! You have excellent taste!! I got the X-Package 18 in 5 spoke rims which look similar to those! We both have the same problem, they seem smaller than 18's!! But I think they still look amazing and I cleaned the brake dust off of them with NO EFFORT at all the other day!! You will love 5 spoke and I love those rims, Very classy

I had TSW's on my RX 330. Everyone liked them (including me) and the price was very fair.

They look "small" because of the lip on the wheels. If the spokes went to the outside of the rim, they'd look bigger.

They look good though

so did you have problem with the TPMS using from the stock rims or you went out and bought new ones. I would love to see your car one day. Too bad your one hr away.

Looks awsome, great job! Not a bad way to go. At first I was skeptical, but I saw the pic. I was pretty impressed. Depending on the angle on the picture the rims look bigger than 18's. Looks clean and kinda looks like it came right out the dealership. I don't know if you were looking to have the modified stock look, but it looks good man and I love the color white! BTW, good job with the lexus center caps.

Looks good. I would have gotten 19's but the 18's work on the IS. I like the Nogaro's so much that I am considereing selling my Maya's to buy the chrome set. Multipiece wheels are too high maintenance and the Nogaro's are a good looking, reasonable replacement. Quality should be fine since TSW has a long history.

I like the wheels. Looks very nice! Almost like they should have come on the car to begin with.
