Nice car! However, I am not feeling the new wheels and the chrome. Makes the car look "underclass".

I agree with the others. Not crazy about the rims, and you really should lose that grille.

love the car, but not feeling the wheels. i actually seen a older woman driving a white IS-C on 20" staggrd Vossens last week by my job, that thing look sweet. I think i might have to get one for my next car in a yr or 2.
