Default Which wheels..

1.Volks SF-Challenge (hyper silver) 19'
2.Volks GT-U (gold with pearls or matte black with pearls) 18'
3.Volks CE-28 (Gold with pearls) 18'
4.L-Sportline lV (chrome or silver) 19'
5.Gewalt Mesh wheels (Silver or gold with pearls)

Which wheel would look best on a Black ES300 97-01? No pictures of any of them on the car but you can try to picture it on the car. haha

The Volk SF-Challenges look absolutely sick. With a tight drop and the perfect spacers I really think it would look 5-stars good.

no pictures.. haha you would have to google it. The Gewalt is the Evolution I believe. You can photo shop the rest of the wheels for me if you want I have the Volks CE-28 on thats about it. Probably pick up the SF-Challenge this weekend and the Gewalt should be here in a week or 2. Thinking about getting the GT-U but I may have too many rims around and only 1 car to put them on. haha.. The L-sportline I am not too sure about either.. That would be awesome though.. 1 set of wheels for everyday haha.

Thumbs up

Since you're soliciting opinions, I think these look better than all of them. Most of the others are too busy, too gaudy or just don't go with the streamlined luxury look of the ES.

yeah, same here. the others without some serious lip, will look cheesy. i think. but thats just me.

and gl 57pro are awesome wheels too, but too sporty for the es imho.

Hmmm.. The axis wheels have no lip and are painted flat black now. I am thinking of doing the Gewalt evolution which looks somewhat like the axis but with a lip and its staggered haha. Those are some nice wheels hav2spool. How much do they cost? All the wheels I have posted up are not too expensive for me.. that one might be a bit more.
