So I found a set of is300 wheels near me for 200 bucks so I was thinking of picking them up, my only concern would be how it would look on my car. I've seen them on some others and they look great but can someone with photoshop help give me an idea of how it would look.

and if you really have some time mind doing it with a bit of a drop as well

Ok ill give him a call and see what i can do, thanks for the picture. What size spacers would you say 5mm on front and back?

That's how they look on mine. Sorry, these photos were not intended to show-off the wheels, but still...

The car is not lowered here - stock springs, Tokico struts:

On the next two, the car was lowered with TRD springs and the Tokico struts.

If you have drums in the back - this is what they look like:

Here it is with disks on the back (after my conversion):

I had steel rims before, which come with open-ended lug nuts that are different from the aluminum wheels lug nuts. I *had* to buy new lug nuts, and if I remember correctly, I bought OEM Toyota lug nuts at the time. Kind of expensive, forgot how much.

I think the original ones from alloy Toyota wheels that came with the car would work, but I have not tried.

Also, Gorilla sells car-specific lug nuts. Just noticed a few weeks back that Costco has them on display and they are cheaper and look just as good IMO.

Check the other IS300 wheels thread - depends on tire brand/size. With Micheling Pilot Exalto A/S 215/50-17 - no need for spacers.

Don't know about this. Mine came from the factory with front brakes that are the same size as the V6 for that year.

Rear does not matter, though I had put V6 brakes in the rear unrelated to the rims.
