I'm thinking about buying the 17" rims off of the Solara. I think they look pretty nice compared to what the ES' Rims.

Opinions?

I went with the 17's due to more options in tires, etc....and think they'll suit me fine. I think they'll look pretty nice though.

Oh. Quick question. What dimension tire would I require? The Solara used 215/55/17. I wouldn't use this, right?

What would I use? 225/40/17 ????

215/50/17 or 225/50/17 I'm pretty sure others will chime in.

How much are they going to cost you? If you want my opinion on them they are kinda plain looking. I would go with is300 17" rims if you want to go with 17".

You're right. They are pretty basic and maybe that's why I like them. They are similar to the RX330's in a way.

$400 shipped.

Plus they will look much better on a 2001 es300 compared to this Solara pictured...in my opinion
