Noob ?'s: Best place to view/research new rims...
Calling all Wheel Experts!
I have a new Black Onyx IS350 and I'm also new to the wheel market in that I don't really know what to look out for and where to buy from (i.e. reputable/reliable work). That being said, I do want to upgrade my 18" OEM wheels to something a little "cooler" looking...
I'm mainly interested in the following information. Can you help?
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed

I'm mainly interested in the following information. Can you help?
- 19" rims
- Gunmetal colored (may consider black/chrome combo if it looks right) and not a ton of spokes.
- I heard it's preferrable to get "forged" rims, for lightness/performance and strength reasons. Is this information correct?
- A rating system (if possible) of the "best" and most reputable wheel manufacturers on the market
- An idea of which wheel sizes fit my IS? I heard a lot of 19"s produce rubbing...
- An idea of how and where to install them after I get them. That is, if I order them over the Internet.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ed

Ok oops...I just saw the Tire Rack sticky with a link to their site...this was helpful. FYI, I did do a search beforehand...
However, please post any other sites for me to check out. Also, any responses to the above would be great...
