I'd also go with the first choice, but I question the fitment of the 18x8 on your ES (could potentially cause some rubbing). An 18x7.5 wheel would be a safer choice, hence the 3rd wheel for the 2nd choice

I have the MR7's and am very happy with them. No rubbing issues.

Choice 2 to me. Spokes look clean on the ES. The 5 spokes lead a very sporty character. The 1st one is too sporty for the ES, to me

we know you wouldn't pick any....but you could at least post "if you had to choose"

we all start somewhere......remember your old rims



I woud say the 1st ones cause of the lip.....

I do agree with 1sick on choice number two.....but if that darn center would't stick out so much

anyway, just messing w/you HB

lolz.. alright then

id pick the 3rd wheel.. cleanest look to me.. 1st ones curve back too much to achieve that lip, 2nd ones are played to hell and dont look right on es300s.. and i like the 3rd because its a clean design and 5 bar wheels go very well with the es300

Gato, the center does not stick out that much..or atleast isn't noticeable once the wheel is on. I'll get around to posting some pictures as soon as I get a hold of a digital camera. I've loved the rims since I got them a year ago
