Those wheels are simple looking, so a different finish or texture would be nice.

They're more aesthetic in chrome or gunmetal...

Do you have the 250 or 350? The 350 has larger brake calipers and are much harder to fit wheels onto. I own a custom wheel store in Oceanside, CA and install wheels on IS's a lot. I am very familiar with the appication, and can get several wheels that fit in gunmetal center, moreso for the 250. The wheels you see pictured are those of a GS350/430. They are not staggered, they 8" w/ 245/40x18. You can email me at sdmotoring@sbcglobal.net and I can help. Don

Those rims in gunmetal would look nice in an SGM.
