I wanted those wheels so bad for mine. Just a little too rich for my very poor blood lol you got a good deal though.

Speaking of which does anyone know of any other stock wheels that might be a little cheaper that would fit my 97' at least 16". I'm looking for tires that are a lower profile than my stock 65 for sure, but something that wont leave a huge void in my fenderwells as lowering is not an option where I live in my opinion. Any ideas guys? I've seen some pretty cool avalon wheels but then I wouldn't be able to find lexus centercaps that would fit right?

Looks good Lexusfreak! Very subtle change, but a true lexus owner will notice the difference. I'm actually glad you didn't go with the GS wheels with the thinner spokes. I am very happy for you.

Thanks LexGrl,

I'm glad I decided on the ES 350 alloys in the end too. They actually look awesome in person.

Have you got your windows tinted yet? Just so you know....the tint in my pics are 22% (medium charcoal shade) Solar Gard all around.

I haven't been on much in a little while (a 1 year old will do that to ya lol), very sorry to hear about your accident several weeks back. Hope your ES is back to the way you like it again....and glad you weren't hurt.
