Gun Metal 18"s?

[BillNick]

Hi all,

Trying to make a decision over my alloy wheels. The standard 10 spoke 17s on my new IS250 are in need of refurb.

Whatever choice I make about wheels I want to go dark grey metallic or gun metal.

I REALLY like the ISF alloys and if they came in 18 I would save up for them. Can anyone recommend any other 18 rims that have the same look as the ISF alloys?

The easy answer is to get my standard 17s refurbished in gun metal, but I am worried they might look a bit silly being only 17. Has anyone done this already? Please post pics if you can to help me.

FYI I have the dark grey body colour as you can see from my avatar to the left.

Cheers

Billy

I purchased mine with the grey alloys and my car is the same colour as yours - the wheels are standard 17's - picture below of the wheels on the car...

Doesn't look too bad actually, still a shame they aren't 18"s.

Thanks

We had the Lexus Baransu 18" alloy wheels in gunmetal grey on our previous IS250, those were gorgeous. Shame the car was written off really, I liked them a lot.

They look even better!

Lexus want £343 per wheel though :-(

Actually it's a little less than that if you go to the link below...

Still going to set you back just over £1200 for the set, and that's before paint and tyres, but you can't put a price on style ;)

Think Ill hold out for a set that need a refurb....here's hoping lol

I was looking for a while, in the end I decided to go aftermarket. Good luck with the search though :)

Found these Mak Iguan in Grey but looking like they're discontinued :-(

Anyone recommend similar aftermarkets
