Default Opinion on these rims

I was wondering what you guys think of these. I couldn't find any pictures of them on an IS and was wondering what you guys thought about the neo chrome lip.

Only way those work are if they are super aggressive and you car has a pretty mean stance.

^ you don't need super aggressive wheels and/or a mean stance just to make a set of wheels "work" with the 2is. just saying. /OT

no on the wheels. you can do much better.

No. Those rainbow lips make it look cheap. I used to like it on Gram lights though.

No IMO. The spokes look funny and the neo-chrome lip will be played out in a year or two...if not before then. Remember the Altezza rear lights on cars and washer lights? So will be the neo-chrome lips...

Wow, everyone disagreed. I'll have to jump on the bandwagon also. But it's also my personal opinion that they do not look that great. And especially how Rash pointed out the "rainbow" effect. It makes it look even worst. :/
