Not a fan of 20 inch as they are quite impractical for everyday driving ... check out the rubber ... its thin assssss
But the black rims on black looks good I reckon -------------------- |

That car looks better in the pics then it does in real life! (me & Charlie checked this car out on Sunday when I met up with him @ Tempe)
IMO 20's are too big for daily driving, but meh its up to you man they look better then the typical paranormals IMO! -------------------- ![]() High End Stez: Eclipse AVN 6000 DLS Nobeliums 6.2 DLS Ultimate A3 & A4 amps (Active) JL Audio 10W7 Stinger pro cables TRD VER S Zorst, Full C West Bodykit (SOLD) BMW E92 335i owner now |

I quite like the colour and the design but they look far too big, almost akward. 18's would look great in my opinon.

Not a fan. 18's max on the Altezza, any larger than that and it looks like a rollerskate. Besides, wheel size is nowhere near as important as offset. For either looks OR performance. Large wheels like this just lower the cars performance in every way - straight line, handling, fuel economy, rubbing, access to driveways, it all suffers.
Still - I've never been the kind to see wheels (or cars, for that matter) as jewellery. -------------------- |

They look poxy IMO... Thats my mates car Wisam who owns tempe... Those number plates are off his 9 Sec VL Calais turbo.... (now 22 inch)
I think its very hard to choose wheels for the altezza/IS ... I cant for the life of me decide what I'd swap the stock wheels for! I dont wanna make the car look like every other wog job out there.... -------------------- ![]() PAST=AS200 6MT - Tein coilovers | Bride Zeta 2 | Work VS-XX | TRD | HID's | BC straight pipe | Cusco anti roll bar | NOW=MZ12 Soarer GT |

When I had my Work wheels, I could never been able to find a pic of them on the web, or find out what model they were! Mine were excatly like those except in gloss black and in 18". The black wheels look alright, but yeaa like others have said, Jap car, should stay JDM, or at least buy Japanese parts to go with it Good luck with your search! -------------------- |
