Default Anyone running cheap black wheels for winter/studded tires?

We are getting our new IS next month and want to run some cheap black wheels with studded tires. I've found a set of 17" five stars for $399 on eBay. Just curious what others are running and see some pics

Thanks

Bought a used set of 18 inch alloys off an infiniti g35
$350 cdn

If you don't mind used & slightly rashed rims for the winter, they look way better than steelies

That actually looks awesome. I didn't know Infiniti wheels would fit. I went with is250 wheels

Bought some cheap rims to use on the winter tires. 17"
Uknown brand called Rosso rr.

If I would buy some new cheap rims today, I'd probably go for the enkei kojin in black. 17" still to get comfort from the winter tires.

These are my Rosso winter rims now.

Both of those look awesome. We may just put studs on the original 18" oem wheels and get nicer ones in the spring.

nah - why don't you just buy the g-spiders off sewell's website? i mean, more expensive than you said you were willing to pay, but well worth it. i have an extra set that i use when i take the car up to the mountains in the snow or just to change it up a bit.

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2014/1939.html

they're great looking wheels, imo, and they're cheap. when you sign up using your clublexus membership, you get an extra discount and the wheels come out to $225.70 per wheel. great deal for some great oem wheels.

the car below isn't mine -- it's someone else's 2IS with g-spiders.

They're too ugly for me to put them on. I used the stock f-sport wheels, I plan on getting a new set of wheels for the summer.
