amen brotha, preach the word!
19' FTW!!!!

In all honestly, 20's at some angles look cool on the IS, but at others like straight side shots look absurdley HUGE and bad on the IS.

Just my opinion of course!

Its weird though because on other similarly sized sedans like the 335i, 20's look perfect.... weird... something to do with the body lines and curves of the IS. 20's just don't go IMO.

^^^acutally its how low you can go with 20's. If you can roll and cut your fenders correctly someone can put it off. Someday im going try to pull that shtt off. Aggressive 20's and slam as low as i can.. Everyone just wants to have a nice stance (VIP) with some aggressive wheels. Thanks just my .02 cents

it's also extremely hard to find 20s in aggressive offsets...and they will never be lower compared to the same car with the same height adjustments then 19s.

^^oh yeah of course i understand it wont be as low as being on 19's. But its the point of how low you can be with 20's (negative camber) and have that same aggressive look like any aggressive 19's. Its possible to have that look (stance) if you had a kit like the INGS+1 very bulky kit with 20's and maybe keep that aggressive look. know what i mean lolz

Thats the good thing about custom built 3 piece wheels....

They are custom built either by the company or by the customer by special request

20's look great, it's the degraded ride/handling on ultra low profile tires that I don't want. Almost exact same situation with BMW 3 series too.

I'd question the forging process of 360. you already know volks are tried and true. Nobody but maybe bbs puts that much quality into a wheel. Furthermore, you are trading up a wheel for another wheel that basically looks the same. Plus if you get rid of the sf winnings on the smg I lose my little twin brother.

He's got a very good point. And to be honest I was suppose to be 360 forgeds IS-F for the system forged lineup but I backed out, because I've been hearing alot of negative things about 360. They make hot wheels, don't get me wrong...but I doubt their credibility in the wheel game. With VOLK and Work you just don't go wrong. GL with your decision. The 360's will forsure look good on your car though.

Na man, they sent me an updated progress pic. The centers just got done being forged, now they are going into finishing & assembly... will probably be shipping to me by the end of the week.

Super sweet!
