i wanted an OEM look, and i wanted to upgrade to 18" wheels. i think these pull the look off fairly well. what do you guys think?

Nice conservative set up.

Most 2ISs in California come stock with 18s. We rarely see anything smaller here, even on the 250 model.

dubsesd

yes, i know. however the awd model comes with 17's.

what wheels are those??? You need to drop it!!!!

dubsesd

they are G37 replicas. as much as i want to lower it, im not. this is one of my daily drivers and i dont want to sacrifice the ride.

i already have a slammed mk5 jetta, and im looking into an IS-F in the next year or so. that will most likely be my next toy, hehe

Very nice looking SGM and high quality photos. The 18s don't bother me and it should be fine until you lower your car. Once you drop your ride, you might inch to upsize your wheels to 19s or 20s, depending on what appearance you would like to achieve. If you like something subtle and nothing aggressive or overly sporty, 18s are the way to go!

Any plans for other mods for your car?

Hey dub.

Sexy VW. t0e likes.

Also, are you going to keep your 250 and also sport the is-f?

dubsesd

^yes. i really like the shape and lines of the IS, and the F is just a perfect package.

Nice setup! What tire size are you using?

IS-SV

In California I have only seen one AWD, it was easy to spot because of the ride height.

Very nice. Sort of reminds me of the Lexus ISP Mode wheels. This is a nice OEM-type look. That's my style as well. Thanks for sharing.

dubsesd

Thanks! The rim is a 18x8 and the tire is a dunlop signature 225/40/18
