Default ES 300 Owner Looking For Advice

hey there guys
i really need some help finding rims, i can't really afford expensive rims, but more than ever do i need them now. i was wondering if you guys could help me with some pictures and brands of more affordable wheels, maybe something with more of a Japanese flare, im pretty sure 18's is what im going for unless someone can show me 17s that would look great, as soon as i get a chance ill take some pictures for you guys thanks a lot for your help...

yeah, hoebag is right, i'd definitely save up for something that i really like.

"i can't really afford expensive rims, but more than ever do i need them now."
Why exactly is it that you "need rims more than ever" right now? Rims are never a necessity.

abobiznow, where are you located in CT? We have a wonderful wheel vendor approved by CL, D2-Autosport, who is located in Meriden and may be able to help out with your wheel consulting needs. Check out their website, and get in touch with Derrick via email.

Good deal. I'm from Danbury, about an hour away from you. Keep us posted on your wheel findings, and in the meantime, maybe you can help us get to know you better by posting up pics of your ES
