you can only do a 20x7.5 which there is only a few wheels out there in that size. 8.5 is way too big.

ice metal 007 and foose speedsters are both good looking 20x7.5 wheels.

every good rim shop will tell you to go with a 20x7.5. I haven't seem a 8.5 wheel look good on an es thats why nobody does it. If you want it to stick out like that, might as well go with 22's on 25 series tire and get the eastcoastryders look.

post pics of your car with the 19's and 2' drop. The autocouture es uses a 19" wheel with over a 2" drop and it looks perfect.
