Default Just got new wheels!!

Just wanted to share with everyone that I got new wheels. They are KMC Units, 18x7.5 w/215/35/18 Toyo Proxes. I think it looks much better than the Nemesis I used to have on it. My wife called them cucumbers. Anyway, check it out!

Old wheels...


And new wheels...

the back end of your ES looks nice without the badges... Given me an idea to strip mine of all it's badges apart from the main Lexus Badge

For suspension, I have hydraulics, and I had to "modify" the fenderwells to tuck the tires that way. As for the emblems, there are holes behind them that will need to be welded shut and repainted over. Do not remove them unless you plan to ride with holes in your car, or repaint it.

cool... is that the same ES in the video of your website?

Yeah I was thinking of keeping the center emblems but just take off the stick on emblems on the right of the trunk...

See sig pic below...

Makes the car look alot better without them

Hey LP - can't wait to meet up at the meet next weekend - yours will definitely be the head turner!

Not everyone's cup of tea so to speak, but still very tastefully done.
