Default Do you think these wheels suit the 2IS?

I'm after a set of concave wheels for my IS 250 but there aren't many choices in the UK (Vossen, Rohana, Concavo etc).

However, 3SDM is a UK brand pretty big in the Euro scene.
Do you think these will suit the IS 250?

19 x 8.5 ET42 front
19 x 9.5 ET40 rear

My car is lowered on Eibach springs.

All opinions welcomed!

Personally, I'm not a fan of these.

Think you would have to be slammed and have a very VIP style to make them work... Even then idk if I would like them.

Just my opinion though.

Yeah I dont like them either, they look like they suit the Euro cars better than ours.

You mentioned that you dont have many options in the UK, what about Velgen or stance wheels?

Personally not a fan of these on a Lexus...would look dope on a slammed Corrado or something German and old school.

A simple Google search of "concave wheels UK" gave me options of Rohana, Vertini, and COR...hope that helps, some of the CORs look sick

I agree with the others here, skip these wheels and get some wheels that are not so closed.

Like most have said, I personally don't like them but you might be able to pull it off if you were slammed and were going for the vip look. My opinion would be different wheels.

However, it's your car and if you like it, go for it.

Not a fan personally, but maybe it's a UK thing that we'll never understand?
