The top one might, and I mean might look okay on an LS or some other luxo barge...definitely not a smaller sport sedan.
That leaves the bottom one.

If you have either of these rims on your car, please post pictures.

Check out the virtual wheels link and play with it. Then let me know it changed your mind on the top one.

I am leaning towards the bottom one because I don't want to get car jacked due to it been ghetto.

Not to sound disrespectful, but I would rather leave my wheels stock than put either of those on my car.

Go with the bottom ones. The top ones would probably go better on something like an LS or something.

I like stock better than either, but 2nd choice is definitely better than the 1st. Now erase Sucka Free from your Tivo and start over.

It sounds like no one like the first one on an IS. I want to have wheels that are different from all you guys on this site. From going through the wheels thread, most of you have BBS look alike wheels in silver, gold, black, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong, customizing your car is so it will be different.

that benz is hot, I think the top ones look good but they have to be on a big body.

I think the bottom ones suit the IS style more, do whatever tho man, its your car.

post pics when you get some wheels tho!

are you limited to only those two choices??

Top one looks ghetto.. maybe look for a similar idea but better design.

Bottom one looks similar to stock.. if i were to buy rims i would want them to be a little bit more flashy.. JMO..

The top one would match any chrome you have in your front teeth!

I am more subtle and would go with the lower ones.

If you get the top ones you can use them to brush your teeth, do your hair, check yourself out, etc whatever you do with mirrors...

Second one, why not just get a TSW center cap and put it on your stockies? That's pretty much what you're buying cept its skinnier and bigger rim...

You can bake a pie in the top rims, but the bottom rims are sexy.

out of those two, the bottom one, but neither really looks great. if you want wheels that not many people have there are more choices out there.
