New to IS300

I just bought a 2003 IS300 however it doesn't have stock wheels and to be honest they look like garbage. Can anyone offer advise where to find rims. I want to learn as much about this car inside and out as possible, so any tips on things too look out for, or how to gain horsepower without turboing the car would be helpful.

I have a silver IS '01" and I want to change the lights. Would smoked are clear lighting look best? If anyone have pictures of their IS with different lighting I would appreciate if you can send pictures!

MacIs300 - start with a free-flowing intake and exhaust. Lighter pulleys will also give you an incremental HP gain. With a little more power under the hood, then focus on better handling, with stronger brakes, lighter wheels and more responsive suspension. Those things will make the car even more fun to drive, moreso that just raw power that is tough to control.

Looks-wise, the IS300 is one of the most beautiful cars ever built, so don't change a thing.

RJ - I vote clear. Smoked really look the best on black, red, dark grey or dark blue. When the paint is lighter than the smoked lenses, clear usually looks better, IMO.
