New to Club Lexus....
Hello all,
Just wanna say hello and introduce myself and my new (to me) 07 IS 350. I've been lurking the forums for about a month and I thought it was about time to register to CL.
Anyhow here are pictures of my car, I've already dropped it on the Eibach pro-kit but the pictures below are when I first bought it.
Also a question for you vets, my wheels are not a stock color I'm assuming. It looks like the previous owner color matched them to my car and they are a bit chromish (not a fan). Does anyone know if Lexus actually sells the wheels this color or is it obvious that the previous owner had them painted. If anyone really like's these wheels and is willing to trade their '08 stocks (the darker ones) I'd be happy to.

I remember several CL members color matching their wheels. I'd consider trading my wheels. PM me with info and better pictures of the wheels if you're still interested.

Thanks all!
Yea I'm in the so cal area, Irvine to be exact and its hot as heck today.
Well the wheels have a chrome finish to them, I don't have better pics... but as soon as I do I'll post them up.
I'm pretty certain that they're not the 08 wheels.

Agreed, those look exactly like the factory 18-inch wheels on my '08 IS350. The '07 and earlier were more of a gray/silver with a flat finish, the new ones are more liquid metallic looking.
Take it to the dealership and pull it up next to an '08 so you can stare and compare, but I'm pretty positive that those are the factory '08 18-inch wheels.

Nice SMG 350 
As for your wheels, the previous owner may have upgraded to '08 and got black center caps since they look like my '08 liquid graphite finish...
I love how liquid grahite looks on SGM...

Thanks for all the replies.
But i'm 100% positive these aren't the graphite 08 wheels. They have a chrome finish to them I will post pictures later this weekend to show you them. I really like the graphite finish ones thats why i'm looking for someone in the area that is a fan of chrome to trade! =)
