Default ES300 with LS430 rims

Sup guys, I saw an older model ES today and noticed it had some LS430 rims on it...well the knock-off version of them (made in the same factory, but can't be exactly the same)

Figured some of you guys might have wanted to know that the LS430 rims do fit the ES model.





Not very good pictures, since they were taken from my phone, but you can still see them.

Looks good. The chrome LS wheels looks very nice on a second generation ES 300...

Yea, I wasn't feelin them either for the ES3

I saw it today and was happy to see someone else in a LExus put the 430 wheels on their car, but then took a closer look and noticed they were knock-offs...

FAKE - whats on it



REAL -


Id say the real ones would look a little better on it, but if I were them and wanted an OEM wheel, I'd go after the IS250 wheels

That's good to know. I was thinking about putting these on, I believe these are from a LS. Any photos of these on a 2nd Gen ES.

the 430 18s would look good in silver but not chrome. the 430 17s wont look good though imo.

^^ if I found a set, I'd buy them. With a smaller tire i think it would suit the car quite nicely... Gotta pchop it.

I'm running the 2004-06 LS430 17x7.5 +45 on my 2001 Avalon. I went with 215/50/17 tires & that set up requires a 5mm spacer to clear the rear suspension. It should be the same on a 92-01 ES300. They are not aggressive enough to worry about outer clearance & my car is slammed...

Ya I only did it since they were $100 for the set. I wouldnt recomend them to ES owners since they are heavy, ugly, & weak sizing...
