Default 19" wheels that look like OEM-ish on the 3IS

Hey fellas, so I'm in the market for a 3IS nowadays and I was wondering what the options were for wheel upgrades that look OEM (not obviously aftermarket). My mod style has never been too focused on wheels with giant lips and super aggressive offets, so I've been looking at wheels like the ISF and RC350 F-Sport wheels on the 3IS. You guys have any photos/ideas stashed up?

bonus: photo of my IS300 5 years ago with GS350 tourmaline wheels

In my opinion F-sport wheels are the nicest and best, they looked luxurious and aggressive for an Fsport, 3rd Gen IS are staggered, Front = 225/40/18 Rear = 255/35/18 all package, if you buy brand new IS i think you can make a deal with your Dealership, RC-F or ISF wheels are awesome but they do looked a little aftermarket to me,

I really admired Lexus IS 3rd Generation team that designed a Gorgeous Lexus IS F-sport or non-fsport, i love it from inside out, from steering wheel to Cluster and down to the Fsport Rims and up to the Sound when i slam the gas, driving experience is great, i've test drove Audi BMW and Infiniti, i didn't like Lexus handling at 1st but i think 15-20 minutes test drive won't tell you the true feeling about 3rd Lexus IS, after 2 months now, man now i know what Lexus IS meant !

You're making a right choice for buying 3rd Gen Lexus IS bro, my previous car was Toyota Solara TRD and 2011 Lexus IS350.

I agree, not in a rush to get different wheels because it looks great already! Would be nice if it was 19's. I am tempted to get directional wheels tho

Get your hands on the LFA 19 inch wheels. Same design as the IS F SPORT wheels. Lol.

Here's a post of the RC350 wheels on an IS. While they look OEM, I prefer the color of the stock IS F-Sport wheels.
