I really like my oem rims and Weds are something I'd rock, WedsSport SA-67R . They look similar to the oem 2010's, wider(more tire), and look great for 19's.

But I think most rims for F, 20's are the way to go. Those Vossen's look perfect

Glad to have you aboard!

I too came from a STi. Though I miss it (especially for AutoX'ing) I'm very happy with the IS-F as a DD.

Yea I miss having boost. Thats probably what I miss the most, sound of the turbo spooling and BOV. Wait, of course the BOXER engine sound, thats what I miss most. lol

Thanks! Yea those Weds look awesome/wider and lightweight! I think they would match perfectly with USB. We'll see, if I ever get tired of the Vossens (which I doubt) and go for a more "colorful" look I will def pick me up a set of those Weds.

the CV3s always look good. i cant wait till the 19'' comes out. I think 20s fit the IS-F and 19s will fit the 2IS better; even though the only difference in size is only in the front of the cars.
