I just got done talking to the volk rep. he said the titanium (4th pic) has to be ordered and wait 2-3- months so i cant get those because my car is at the shop and i need it now. I also dont know if it would look old school or akward on the car.

I might just go all black, and get the black lexus emblems.... then black out the roof. hell ill just go all out.

The thing with all black wheels is that they suck in pictures compared to real life so its hard to tell how nice they are.
Like if you see a ferrari with black wheels on a picture it looks only 5% of what it is in real life.

MtinezIS3 is that your car? that looks clean as it can be.
I guess the ME are cleaner than the GTS, and the GTS are more of a bad-*** type of wheel (depending on the color)

you dont think the all black look would fit the white IS? I think it might
