Work XD9 isn't my favorite among the emotion lineup, but i do prefer it over f-sport wheels and they are nice wheels

Im not really a fan in 18" aftermarket wheels on the IS, but they are Works..as long as you have the right drop it should look great.

Whichever one you like.

But if I were you I'd take Works!

For the money, I'd probably get something else like a set of Wedssports.

But between the two, I'd get the Works.

But also, be careful with your tire sizes. You're an AWD so you have to be within 1% rolling diameter between front and back.

Between the two I would rather have the 19" F-Sports. If you are going to go after market why not step up to 19"?

2500.00 you need more scratch for that. Look at forgestar f14 sweet wheels. At 1600.00 if I'm not mistaken. Plus tires your at your budget.
