Default Done with everything else... It's now rim time

I own a blk/blk IS250 and recently just finished getting everything blacked out: Headlights, taillights, windows, emblems, grill etc... I am now ready to start looking for rims.

My buddy is a Licensed Car Dealer and Broker and will be helping me find rims for my Lexus. Thing is I have not really had anytime to look for black rims, and I will be meeting him at the dealership early this week to go over the candidates.

I was hoping you all could link me some classy BLACK rims for my ride. I was looking at the classic BBS rims, but in my opinion they do not look bulky enough to go with the huge body style the Lexus has.

The only brands I have looked at and been interested in are Volk and BBS.

So, please help me out and link me some rims that would look good with the Lexus body etc...

P.S. Would Gunmetal maybe work?

Hope to hear back soon,

Thank you

I would recommend you check the wheels available at D2 Autosport, one of the CL authorized vendors. Not only do they carry some of the best wheels around, but they also have good prices as well. Their website is www.d2autosport.com. Among the brands I would recommend are I-Forged, Modulare and Auto Couture. And about your question, yes, I think that a gunmetal/anthracite/charcoal finish on the wheels you get will look good with your black car. Hope this helps

I would recommend DCR Forged. Here is the site for you to checkout and a picture of the best looking IS on CL in my opinion.
