Default 02 ES300 - New Wheels

Decided to replace the original tires on the ES. Yeah, the '02 only has 35K miles on it.

Wanted to go +1. Picked up 17" rims - Keonig Maxxim Vigors - with Hankook 215/55 17 Ventus H105s. Ride just got noticeably tighter and much quieter.

in addition, think about painting your calipers and hubs now that they are more exposed.

Looks nice.

I toyed with the idea of going to 18" rims, but didn't want to make the ride too hard.

No you guys got me thinking of changing the brakes and putting on lowering coils.

As to the old wheels, not sure what I'm going to do with them. I already have mounted snows.
