I just got a set identical to the Helo's. I'll have them mounted probably later today. I'll try to post some pics if you want to get an idea of what it looks like?

thanks man........if you get a chance, could you take a pick directly from the side for me, just want to see what that angle looks like. My car's the same color so this will give me a pretty good idea of how it will look even though its a slightly different body style.

I don't generally like it to be honest, but with a tint and some nice rims it can actually look pretty damn classy.......i forget who it is on here, but someone has one with the enkei LM1's on it, looks just sick!!!

option 3 and 4 isnt worth it. unless your car is going to be a show car. Plus this car isnt a performance car anyway. name brand versus cheap rims, nobody complaines that mine are motegi. I dont care i think 7 other brands made my wheels. I put the money i saved into siri sat radio and double my money already i should make thosands off the money i saved from buying cheaper wheels!

i've been thinkin about 20's too especially with the 30 series tire. With that tire its the same height as 18's on a 40 series tire, more rim less tire.

Question Gato.......

I tend to agree Gato..........I'm also puzzled as to where this thread came from as I think I started it back in September.....regardless, I ordered a set of the L-Sportlines from TM-Engineering...I expect they'll be shipped out this week! Now, they won't be on the car until the spring as I really have no desire to ride with them in the snow....plus I need springs/struts, althougth I've been doing a lot of reading, and with your experiences in trying to obtain an ideal ride height, I'm thinking more and more than perhaps coilovers are the way to go, I just still can't seem to figure out how they work. Are they essentially a spring/strut in one piece, or what? I understand they can be adjusted, does this mean I could raise my ride for winter and drop it down again come summer???

Default ES 300 wheels...

Even though the poll is closed, I like the Entai's best. Man...these are expensive wheels! Definitely would like to see the pic if/when the deal is done. What year ES will this go on??

W. David,
good choice on the lsportline

Yes, I agree, you should go with the coilovers. I've been doing alot of research on the coilover set and it is definitely the way to go. for now it will be a little while before I get mine but I have decided on the d2 coilovers, they offer the longest range of motion and their customer service is great.
You know it's a shame Tein does not offer anything on the ES/Windom. As far as JIC is concerned, their answers are vague on what their product has to offer. I've heard of many leakage problems with their coilovers.
W.David check out these d2 coilovers. I've heard great things and maybe sometime soon we can do a group buy on these. Talked with the dude from Canada and he says he can provide d2's full coilovers for $950. shipped.
