They are very nice alloys, and a very good price.
I'm not sure how black alloys would look on a dark coloured car, it may be worth doing some photoshop work to see how you feel about it.
Heres my quick attempt:

Bloody hell... eighteen foot alloys..?
Just joking. I believe you'd want to check out black alloys on a dark grey car before purchasing though. As [i]Fidgits[/i] mentions, perhaps someone can knock-up a photoshop image for you to see?

you are right
japan shipping seems cheaper than US though
dont forget customs import duty, then VAT
i personally think they will suit your car

IMHO...they look nice, but not really the style I would go for, but hey its all about personal choice!! .....one thing I will say though and thats the fact I don't think they will go very well with the dark grey IS, with red yes, but dark grey IMO no!
But on a plus note the price is great!

It was the price that attracted me more than anything. I like the photoshop except for the red bits on the wheels which make it look a bit odd, hmm, will think this weekend.

those are the same as the TTE wheels i think - might be cheaper if you get them from there - also speak to mat, he is there often.

"speedline corse" - "OZ racing" i see you like Italian products
Well, in my opinion on a dark grey IS200 the alloys must be not dark.
I prefear chromed or white.....
Speedline produces a line of wheels in magnesium that are white.... similar to the dark ones posted by you.... have you avere thougt to buy it white????
