Option A. If I decide to drive the 500 in the winter, then I get silver Enkeis to go with the winter tires, and try to look more lux during the winter months. For the summer months, I retain the darker Enkeis with the OEM tires to portray a more sporty look.
Option B. If I decide to drive the 500 only in the summer and bit of the buffer months , then I get the gun metal 350 wheels to give me all around, more balanced portfolio ?
I’ll defer to @wthrman2 ’s post. The tire swap process is an anathema to this Southern dude! 😉👍🏽👏🏽

One of the few times it sucks to live in a condo, no space to hoard silver Enkeis! 😜
^^ Congrats!!! That will be such a change from the IS 250 AWD to an IS 500 RWD!! You will not regret owning this bad boy! Your pic gave me a flashback of when mine was delivered, such a happy feeling:
Amazing shot here! I don’t believe I’ve seen the lines and the essence of the IS design captured so well as it is here. The light hits the side flare and rear quarter just right.

Thanks! I've driven my friend's IS-F and RC-Fs and was sold on this engine years ago LOL. I was shopping between this and the G80 M3 but ultimately the M3 was too expensive with higher running costs. No ragrets here.

This one from Peoria was the only one close that had this boring color combo I wanted. The red is too much for me. Was originally going to pick it up and drive it back but my PPF guy advised against that for obvious reason but the dealer delivered it for free!
Same here. I drove all years of the IS F and experienced the improvements as time went on (diff, suspension) but when the 3IS generation came out I wanted that V8 in the new gen car because it is so much better in many ways. Then they did the GS F for $85k for some reason. The V8 is the reason I wanted this car.

I was worried the red would be a little much for me (I'm incredibly boring, always), but I thought it would be fun to spice things up given the monochrome exterior. Glad we got to grab the right car for each of us!
