I would definitely go with a staggered lip setup, but nothing too exaggerated. For the IS 2" front 3" rear looks good

You can get the Volk TE37s with a concave face.

Lips are nice, but I won't mind wheels without a lip, or with a small lip if the design of the spokes/face of the wheel look nice . . .

I have about 4 inch lips on the rear wheels of my G35. My SC300 has about a 2 inch rear lip...if that. Those big lips are sweet. Gives the car that exotic look. Catches the eyes and bounces the light from multiple angles.
The wheels on my SC still look hot. Very hot. I say it depends on the style of the wheel more than anything. Both can be hot.

I love lips!!! But I like them in just-about-right sizes!

Good looking car must have good looking wheels, and good looking wheels must have good looking brakes.

I never get the point of people use thin spoke wheels to stand out the OE brakes.
