Default Wheel Opinion?

Foose DF5 for an IS250.

19x8.5 Front
19x10 Rear

Yes or No?

I Really want the Work wheels but a friend said to look at the wheel by foose and I have mixed thoughts on it.

Someone photoshop this rim on an IS please. I am curious to see how it looks. I am going to disagree and say I think this could look good. Nice fat lip in the rear!!

I cant say no to the Work Rim having them....another great choice!

I can't stand chrome, and I don't like 5-spoke wheels... but that's actually a pretty nice wheel.

I don't like that Foose wheel too much, get the Work wheels instead... or talk to the D2 Autosport guys, they can probably suggest another type of wheel brand that you like and fits your budget.

Thank you! Unlike most I think this rim would also look good. I think you should post a pic in the photoshop section and let Mr. Seize do his majic. It may be too much chrome but I am sure once on the car it will give a whole new meaning and you can custom the center for less flash like my rims and just have the lip as it is??

I agree with your taste With the spokes kind of broken up I think this gives the rims a nice touch and different is good around here. I would change the center to a different color, ie. BLK, silver, ect....so its not so "Flashy" for my taste. I still would like to see it as a photoshop on any IS. Looks like the OP has a white IS from his sig and that would look better with this rim IMO.
