Not yet... any offers ???
Drivers side front has got slight curb marks,the rest are like new. Tyres have only done 2000 miles
( sorry about the red calipers, I photo shoped them to see what they'd look like... didn't like em )

personally i would go any more than 18's

19's stand more chance of buckling and the ride is horrible... corning is nice but crap in the wet

18's are just right for the IS IMO

??????????????? WHAT ??????????????
Have you driven an IS200 with 19's on ?
It corners like its on rails wether it's dry or wet, and the rides just fine.
I'm only looking at 18's cause the 19's are a little too heavy for acceleration.
I'm sure it would be alot cheaper for me to cadge a go in a supercharged IS200 with 18's on it to see if there is any difference.

Duncan, I got my OZ wheels from www.performancealloys.com

They are based in Antrim, N. Ireland but they do free delivery I think. They have an excellent website. Just enter Lexus IS200 in the make/model bit and it will list all the alloys they have that fit your car. If you want to stick to OZ then they have a few types that fit the IS.

I found them very good to deal with.

Just have to get Fever's Eibach's on now to finish the car off blink.gif

You should find something you like mate msn-wink.gif

Hope that helps,

Gavin smile.gif
