Nah. Decided today to keep it.
Liz was adamant that I don't let it go.
Anyways, the modding bug hit me. Just ordered the HKS exhaust, and now wheels are being considered...
YAY!

My choice would either be chrome X-PKG rims or BBS RS-GT's in diamond black.

Ditto.
Machined and polished finishes are good looking for a BWB IS, IMO.
I think EXE makes some handsome machine finish rims.
KonKave
KonVex
IS350_PHIL has the KonKave and posted some pics around here if you want pics.

this girl who goes to my school, (and my best friend) just got rims on her sl550. it's arctic silver, which is very similar to bwb. she went with gunmetal maya's, i think it turned out okay. you can see my car in the background (modless)

Good taste, but Maya rims count as steeply priced rims, no?
At least for my broke *** they are

Oh... Chrome X-package would be nice! I kinda wouldve rather gotten those than the OEM chrome 18s I have now.

I don't want to invade my neighboor's privacy by taking/posting a picture of his car (he's not a CL member that I've seen) - but he's got 19" Volk GT-C's on his BWB and slightly lowered - that has to be bar none one of the nicest/classiest 350s I've seen - on this board or on the street.

Eh. I think 18's look too small...heck, even 19's seem small too me.
20's are perfect, IMO.

Hyperblack on Breakwater Blue
I was going with the chrome, but I ended up liking the blue and gunmetal look.

Do you have any bigger pictures of your car? I have a BWB IS as well and I'm just curious to how it looks with gunmetal wheels. Thanks!
