Red face SGM is250 wheel choice

Hey guys I previously had a thread about my car with gold but now I'm having second thoughts about it. Gold still may be an option but if anyone could post pics or make suggestions I'd be really thankful.

What look are you going for? I'm a fan of gunmetal 5Axis S5:F wheels on SGM cars.

I like just good o'l hypersilver. Not a fan of black or dark wheels on a dark car... here's a couple pics. These are Volk-SF Winnings. I like the contrast of bright (never chrome) wheels on a darker car.

black with polished lip really goes well with the darkness of the tint + the chrome trim around the windows IMO

I agree, the polished lip is a necessity IMO, there's plenty of high quality bright trim on the car to go with it.

I'll take my statement back about dark wheels on a dark IS. I do like it, however a polished lip is a MUST! An all dark wheel with no polished lip doesn't 'flow' with the car. A bit 'murdered out' looking. Take advantage of the chrome trim on the car and if you do get a dark wheel, make sure it has a nice bright shinny lip (or a step lip - even better).

Not picking on the first car all the way to the left, but see how the other cars lips are more 'eye catching'... they 'go' with the car's trim better?

All I have to say...that's sick a$$ pic. Although the pic would've looked much better if there was 1 white IS mixed with the crowd of SGM.
