Well I cant seem to find the pics of my ES when I bought it but here's a general ideal of what it looked like. Only difference is mine is black and had the platinum edition rims.



Pictures of what it looks like now:





A sneak peak of where is going . Just sitting the new rims up to the car just to get an ideal of what it will look like. Will get that nice flush look I'm looking for and finally get a front lip on. Hopefully HoeBag will help me with tire size options and the fitment.

Smitty! When I saw you asking about those Amistad wheels in that thread I got excited. Those are it right? I can't wait to see them on your car.

Thanks Chris Yup those are it. I wish I could get them on right now. I'm going to put the rims in the shop to be polished up and everything while I'm gone out of town the beginning of next week. I'm looking for a good deal on tires right now so if anyone knows where I can find one hook a brotha up

I'll probably run 225/35/19. Rim specs are 19x8.5+35 Does that sound about right HoeBag? hehe. Gotta ask the experts.

The "after" is fairly subtle, except for the wheels and headlight cleaning, since most of my mods have been suspension and interior.

Wow you guys sure do put some ugly rims on your cars. Not to be harsh but most of them definitely do not fit the simple yet classy look of the es300. Racing rims on an ES300...come on now.

To each his own. This is what makes our cars unique.

Can't believe you would start your first post with that B.S. comment.

I didn't choose it because it was "racing rims." I chose it because it was the only rims with the style I liked.

kluthage42: I kind of agree with you. Maybe it is a age thing. There are many great looking rims out there to go ricer or ghetto. I do agree that taste is an individual thing and to each his or her own. Specter
