Default Smokey Granite Mica Suggestions?!

Hi everyone so I own a 08 IS250 Smokey Granite Mica. I want to get rims but am undecided as to what color would look good with it. I also want to plastidip some of the emblems and possibly the grill. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are about doing so. Its such a odd color I don't know if black would look good with it =/. All I've done so far is put in blue interior lights, then white puddle and courtesy lights. If anyone has any pics that would be great, and thanks.

A dark gun metal color or the smoked graphite color from the F-Sport package looks awesome

That looks sick Slash. I was actually thinking of getting that same set of wheels but wanted to see how they look with SGM first.

Ya I'm def. saving up for some blk chrome wheels. MYIS350G the back lexus emblem did you take it off when you plastidipped it or did you leave it on and just layer it and slowly peel it off?

Look through this thread. I really like gunmetal with the SGM color. The 5 Axis wheels look awesome on the IS, in my opinion.

I plastidipped my grill and emblems. :P I have blackish chrome wheels on my IS - BBS LM reps. They look pretty sick. I'll get some pics of everything up later. Just been a little busy with school. :]
