Default ES's on 20's (w/ pics)

Just thought I'd gather a collection of ES's found online that are sitting on 20" rims (and also to dispel the much-discussed myth that it can't be done on an ES). Feel free to add other pictures you've seen elsewhere, and please keep the criticism to a minimum (i.e. no "pickup truck", "4x4" jokes or the like)

Here are a couple of '97 ES's (the first one on 20" Voxx, and the second on 20" Limited):

And here is an '02 ES sitting on 20" MHT:

They would look okay on the 02+, but I still think they look out of place on the older models. I have a pic with a 92-96 at home, I will post it later tonight.

I should have added a disclaimer to my first post up that reads something like this:

DISCLAIMER: Should you decide to put 20" wheels onto your ES, ClubLexus is not responsible for any distress, anguish, ridicule, "bling" or "4x4" jokes, etc. which might result from the modification.

I agree that they really look out of place on the older models.

20s look nice on a new body ES as long as there nice wheels not like the wheels on that ES in the pic. Some one should try to find a nice 01+ ES with 20s and a drop.

I like the '02 on Dubs, mainly because of the elongated body style, the wheels are so-so but with a drop it looks better. I did a quick PS on a couple photos.
