Yea I likey..it does make the ride a little stiffer going to 19 with the sport pkg. The handling seems a little tighter since I went wider than stock tires.

I did see the Shine on other ISx50s but the photos were not very clear so it did not look as good. But I think my pics are clear enough to make out the details in the rim.

I was driving home tonite and was cruising along when a 335 coupe rolled up along side and keep at the same pace next to me. He was wanting to race me - in the neighborhood in a 40mph zone!

But my wife was with me and a lot of cops patrol late at nite and did not want to chance a tix.

When I was stock with the exhaust no one bothered me. So think the new rims seem to attract more attention.

Suppose dropping it will mean a harsher ride?

I already noticed that switching from 18s to 19s.

It's probably more noticeable in mine since I have the sports pkg already and this was more firm than stock IS.
