G-Spiders look a bit more sporty, ISP's more formal looking. IMO.

Perfect. Thank you.

Why I ask is because I am able to buy either wheel set for $800.

What I am looking at are other 18" wheels. I want something sporty and lighter than the stock, but for around the same price.

The MRR HR-2's I can get for cheaper in 18s', but I am not sure how heavy they are.

How important is weight, in the real world?? Not very. I read too many posts here of people having problems with aftermarket wheels. If you buy the Lexus product you are covered by the factory warranty. If bought with the car they are covered for four years.

G spider and ISP looks like 17 inch when they are not dropped.

Both are a great looking wheel, you really can't go wrong.

Just so happened that I saw an IS350 here the other day rolling on ISP's and I gotta say it really looked Fantastic! Not quite aftermarket, but it sure caught my eye!

GL, with your decisions!

G-spider of course. I saw a black chrome G-spider at a dealer and it looked even better than my regular G-spider, sadly it was way overpriced as expected.

I've decided to order the ISP.

I hope I will not regret it.
