Let's just suppose I had an IS 500... I am starting to think maybe swapping those wheels on is the move. I like the BBS wheels and the Enkeis, but I dunno man... I get a lot of compliments on the 350 wheels, even from people who have seen the car before.

My GF told me the BBS were cool if that counts for anything
Arentz07 - TBH, swapping the Enkei for the stock OEM 350 wheels is the best modification I could have done to MY car - It is all a subjective things and I respect everyone, but I always loved the look of these OEM wheels. You guys all know me, I never been a black wheel guy (as many of you find white cars boring) and I think our steel winter rims is partly the cause for me, but regardless, these wheels look amazing! I love the pattern on the Enkei but found them a bit too light for a white car, and these darker ones are a bit too dark. These OEM 350 wheels are the Goldie lock of the wheels for my eyes and car color. If you ever want the Canadian version (finish), let me know and I can arrange something for you....they run about 450$ a wheel which would be ~350$ US but then add our taxes and it would be close to 400$ US. Now the shipping would be a bit more but if you prefer that finish over the chrome polish look, it would be worth the money too....that is IF you get the 500 and IF you want to swap the wheels.
TBH - I think you should really get the 500, join the exclusive group of us V8 owners and enjoy life....we don't take our money with us so if you can do it, just do it
vpar23 - I think your GF is right, the BBS wheels, as the Enkei wheels are all nice for sure. I love the wheel pattern of the BBS wheels, my biggest concern when I was debating to go LE or not was the finish, not sure I could have handled them to a point where my OCD would have kicked in. I find the Enkei (2022) look amazing on some car colors (especially the darker colors). In the end, it is all a matter of personal preference and we all get what we like or what is available and some of us (i.e. me) will find the best compromise and swap the parts that we are not madly in love with. I said to the wife, I have already paid 85 000$ for this car, what's an extra 2K to make look exactly the way I want it
It's official. I've got an IS500 now! I don't have great photos cause it is raining like crazy, will get some later on.
Here's us transferring stuff from the 350 to the 500.
