i suppose you were trying to convince yourself? nice try.

but i find it funny that you were claiming the mayas as MRR knockoffs.

probably closer to september/october than august, but they should be arriving (relatively) soon.

yeah...but your rims look really cheap, should have gone with a different set of MRR's. good job trying to fool everyone that your IS was an '09.

Well since you asked for it, I will give you my honest opinion,They are ugly. I would not have gone with those. I would have left it stock before I did that.

My car won't arrive until August, and it's still going to be an 08. Now I wish I would've waited just 1 more month.

Now I have to spend extra money to mod those side mirrors. I hope the new grille doesn't look better than the current one.

Just as reference, the first 08s were picked up from dealers last week in Sept/First week in Oct of 2007, depending on where you lived in relation to the ports they arrived at.

With the 09 having a facelift it's unlikely they'd be available any earlier than those dates this time around.

Wow... someone remind me not to:

1. Ask for opinions on how something looks... (opinions are all subjective anyway)

2. Misrepresent the MY of my car!! lol (and I thought that I was picky!)

I'm surprised that someone didn't just say, "Your '09 wanna-be looks like a bucket of S with those knock-off rims!"

foreal!! i can picture a dog running inside that wheel while he's driving. those wheels must weigh a ton. u know if you really want your car to go faster you might want some lighter forged wheels instead of those steelies.

i would say that, but then this thread would get locked up, and i'd earn a perma-ban.
