Personally, I'd rock OEM over any of the three choices. But if I had to choose, It would be your second or third options. Or buy a used set of Volks, Works, Algernon, etc. from this forum or another. Sure, it will cost a bit more for the aforementioned wheels, but you'll recoup more money when you sell the wheels.

Out of the three options, I would say number 3. I have seen them on a ISx50 before and it looked pretty good for the cost.

I would say number 3 but if you're leasing I wouldnt even waste my money imo. it's gonna be hard to sell those rims once you return your car, unless you plan on getting another car with the same bolt pattern or buying out your is

yeah, going with 19s and new tires on a leased car is hard to stomach. ill probably be dumping the car, and wheels, to go back to nyc w/ metrocard in hand (which is why i leased). my best bet may be to minimize my losses, get 18s, and reuse the stock tires.

that said:

exhibit A (18"s)

http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ze%20Flat.html

or exhibit B (18"s)

http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ze%20Flat.html



i am favoring the TSWs, since they will probably seem "larger" in 18" size, since the spokes go out towards the edge of the rim. what will work with stock 2010 rwd tires for front and rear? the TSWs come in in 18x7.5, 8, and 8.5??? maybe 8F/8.5R? (the widths are all the same price) BTW, I am on tein S springs, and of course, i am not looking to futz around with the fenders, since the car is a lease. here are the offsets: http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ze%20Flat.html

Thanks!
