Time now, to order them for myself and be the only one with them!! Mmmmmmmm!!) :cool:

I recognise the Momo wheels - some of the others are new too me....... are four real split rims or pretend???

Also, can you find out which ones come in the correct offset and what the weight of them is?
Some (especially the cheaper wheels) can be VERY heavy...... and especially when you are increasing the size of your wheel - if you can avoid heavy alloys - you don't want to impact the unsprung weight too much.

OK UV, I'll check weights if I can - I am pretty sure I can get all this wheels on the correct off-set for an IS200 but I'll double check that too... Thanks for some top advice... smile.gif

Why don't you go for the L-Sportline Model 4? The price is almost the same.

One of the US websites loads a piccy of your car and then loads pictures of the wheels against it. Let me know if you want the URL and I'll sort through my faves.
Zee007
Thanks for the offer Rod - I'll pass on this occasion as the place I'm looking to buy from will put a wheel on for me to have a look first.

I think I've narrowed it down to wheel 2 and 4... decisions, decisions... laugh.gif
Richie
Have you looked at HRE wheels???
They look damn good!!!!!!!
vic
Nope...Im with mat....got to be wheel 2! I dont like wheel 4 at all....it's all down to personal taste though I suppose.

I think the standard (17") wheels are among the nicest i've seen.
Pity they don't offer them in a 19" ... I'm assuming they don't anyway.
Steve
green tyres would look smashing! laugh.gif

Steve's on his own with the green tyres, but we all knew that anyway. Wheel 4 is Mania pursuit, available from wheelmania. You lot really need to read some of the so called "hot hatch mags", and Matt you disappoint me if you did not recognise it as "Charismas R5 choice" the first 19’s on a 5!!

As I try to tell you all, pick your own and don’t let anyone see till they are on!

Set the style don’t follow!!!!
:cool:
