welcome to CL! i was debating between wheels as well and those lexanis were on my list untill i found a deal here on the forum for some work vsxx. but if you want those let me know, i know a place you can get em for like $1900 shipped i believe and thats for 20s so 19s would be even cheaper.

I beg you not to get those wheels. They look horrible, and not clean at all. Check the classifieds, theirs a guy selling iforged wheels for $3200.00 W/ tires. Those wheels scare me of how cheesy they look.

WELCOME! Car looks great with those rims and front lip. I'd leave it as is.
I didn't know you could get beige interior with the X-Package. Is this a true X-Pack or maybe just some add-ons?
Also, good way to see the S2K tailpipe tips compared to the IS's- since many say to use the Honda's. Not sure how it would look with oval tips and a circular cutout.

Thanks for the info guys. I will start modding soon, tint is the first thing here shortly then who knows! Still un-decisive on what wheels to get....I really dont wanna spend over 2k on rims, I found out I have the X Package which was news to me lol.....says the suspension is good right? So then as far as lowering goes should I just buy springs or get a whole suspension setup,...........??? Thanks again guys.
