I took a few minutes (...hours) to look for, and I think like you. Chronium, black chrome, silver chrome are nice but I didn t find a lot of car atomic silver with this c wheels color.

The benefit with my new wheel, they are less dirty (less messy) but the car il too "sad" visualy.

Are you referring to something like the dark chrome like the stock wheels on the 2021 IS 350 (without the Dynamic Handling Pkg)? I agree, this finish works well.

It's a bit difficult to find examples of this out there just Googling, but to get an idea, I'd just look out the window at my own 2021 IS 350. The dark chrome looks great against lighter colors like white or silver.

Fortunate, In any case, in Europe we can't get the new IS (2021) maybe most of the people prefer SUV. The dark chrome is too dark for me, hyper silver, Tiatnium is better, it's between silver and dark chrome color. But I will be happy to see a picture of your car

I hear ya!

I love black which would be a great complementary color but they lose so much detail. Plus, they look terrible when dirty...

YES, absolutely these. Actually, I'd love even a 19" F-sport factory wheel from 2018. I believe they are only offered in 18, however.

What do you think to paint the wheel at the same color as the car?

Closest thing was the 19" LFA replicas offered some odd years ago. But my understanding is that they're out of production.

So bad, they were very nice, but too big for me. There is another way, go to a paint wheel shop!

Finally get to contribute after owning the car 5 years but it was time after all 4 stock wheels were no longer round...WedsSport SA-72R's in Hyper Black Clear - 18x8.5 +35 with stock tire sizes and stock ride height. Got a great deal from Anthony at aristocrat_autosport on Instagram. Super happy with the look, trying to hide that break dust...car isn't washed but wheels are spotless

Verde Axis V99
19x8.5 (32mm) 235/35/19
19x9.5 (38mm) 265/30/19

Had them powder coated to what was supposed to be factory color. Came out way darker than expected. It might be growing on me?

how's it going CL need your advice on tire sizing

Running RSR Downs on 2016 is200t f-sport RWD with RCF/GSF Bushings

And I bought Gram Lights 57DRs
F: 18x8.5 +37
R: 18x95 +38

just wondering what's going to be the best tire size for me?

I'm for sure running 255/35/18 for the rear, but can't decide on the front. Should I go 225/40/18, 235/35/18, or 235/40/18? Going to run Firehawk Indy 500s.
