Congrats and welcome.

Maybe it's just the pic but are those the new 08 wheels? From that pic it looks like the 07 silver wheels.

The 2008 I ordered will have the same wheels as the 2007s. I asked the dealer and he has not seen an IS with the darker wheels and has not been informed of the change for the car. His suggestion has that it may be something that is available in different regions ie. California.

I was thinking maybe it was an upgraded wheel or something available on the 350 only.

Needless to say I was disappointed to hear that cause I love the pic on this site of the liquid graphite wheels.

^^^ Don't listen to your dealer...

Every 2008 IS250 or IS350 that comes into the US from Japan will have the new Liquid Graphite Finish Wheels.. Trust Me!!

Enjoy my pics!!

well, I don't think I am going to touch my baby for a while. We are still in the honeymoon period.

I might get the clear bra for front and back bumper, b/c people in SF do not know how to park without bumping everyone aroud them
