Before you ASSUME that I didn't like the wheels read what I said. I never said I didn't like the wheels, I like the wheels. I just said I hope his theme follows. Let's just put these Enkei's on an IS, redo the whole interior with black suede and double diamond stitching. Then lets put a bunch of Garson/D.A.D. stuff on the inside and outside and make it real VIP styled, now tell me how well does that flow? Not so nice huh?

And BTW it's funny how you contradicted yourself in YOUR own post

There were only a handful of people that had these back then. They look presentable on the 2IS. Even considered getting them for winters years ago, LOL.

Maybe you know what mods the OP's car has, or what the OP's plans for mods are because that is the only way your previous statment would make complete sense in regards to your original post.

But if your original statement is in regard to a stock IS, then I disagree. Your original post said that you think these wheels are too race for this car. I'm assuming that you are saying that these wheels do not belong on the 2IS in general. Now that is what I do not agree with. The 2IS is a sport luxury car and I believe wheels like these go perfectly fine. And yes, like I tried to get across in my previous post, unless the OP has a specific goal like say VIP style, then no, these wheels are not what he needs.

And how did I contradict myself in my own post . Perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying. If you did, I apologize, I tend to word statements kind of awkward sometimes.
