I'd go with these:



the 1st ones might work, but hte 3rd ones are too much.

Have you checked to see if the wheels are available on Tire Rack or Disount Tire Direct. They both have on-line interactive viewing of wheels on vehicles.

Good choice on the chromies. I would also go with #2. Cool ES too. I always wondered what one would look like in that color. Are your fogs tinted blue as well?

They are halo blue on the circumference and bright white center... suppostly blue when turn on 1 setting to go with the blue parkers... but I hardwired them together ... too much bright light will attract unwanted insects (cops that is).

My heart is set on the Zenetti rim as well .. but the 3rd rim is similiar to Charley.. and that wicked.... and the 1st is unique... not too many rides have them on as yet.

Oh wow.

I Love the way the first set looks on your ES! The second set is an awesome set too, don't get me wrong. But after looking at that shop, the blue of your ES and the black and chrome of those wheels go great together. Either way, It's gonna look hot!

HEHEHE the colour is not stock... I resprayed it about 9 months back... cost me nearly 4K..... This shade of blue is from the Subaru WRX.

I like the 1st rim alot too .. but i just found out the size is only avalaible for ... you ready for this ... 20 & 22". So i'm limitted to 1 choice... or go 20" on the 1st wheel.

I think i forgot to ask u guys... OFFSETS ... what the hell are these and what would be suitable for our ES.... 2nd gen that is.

Offset usually ranges from 30-45 if you keep it 8" wide or under but that's for gen.3 but I'm pretty sure its close. I also have to disagree with maniax on this one I LOVE THE WHITE I would do more on the grille.
