Default ps

these rims are from rvm wheels most of their rims are about 500 bucks ..these happen to 18 inch rims ..........i dont know if i really wanna go bigger ..the streets of new york are pretty rough on anything bigger ............plus i didnt wanna change the feel of the ride on the lex and i figure the T.R.D kit will give it a little lower to the ground look

they are nice in color. But i dont know about its compatibility with your goldish car.
its something that would suit a black or silver car better. IMO

I say no. The Black wheel craze is getting out of hand. The ES is nowhere near the sporting pretensions a black wheel "speaks" on your car.

Black wheels were usually only on extreme sports cars. Today, in just Atlanta, I see them on Civics, Saturns, Impalas and it looks out of place and silly.

But hey, do what you want.

gold on gold doesnt look right unless its the same exact color

black is getting played out.. you can never go wrong with silver or polished

I would agree the black isnt gonna work, maybe on a color other than gold though.

He could powdercoat the gold the same lexus color, I've never seen that before.

Gold mahn, you pretty much got to get a real clean silver or chrome
