New ES 300 Member. Need advice.
Ok like it says I am new to Lexus, but not to Toyota.
A little background
2006 Tundra Dbl. Cab (leased - due back),
2006 Scion tC (grew up),
2007 Camry SE V6 - Loaded, the wifes now.
And now I am in a 2002 ES 300. Need some advice on what mods to do first. Here's what I am thinking. XM, HID's, remote start. But the big thing is the wheels - I don't want to roll big but would like to fill up the wheel well a little better. I picked up the car locally with 68k miles. It was a one owner, elderly lady driven. Paid 11,700 so I think I did well. But, not real fond of the chrome 16's.
Please whatever advice you could give would be appreciated!!

Hi Kyarugi, any pics of the car? Probably be a good idea to load up some pictures and from that, some members may be able to suggest some type of wheel (or they'll just load a whole bunch of pictures of other ES300's). Have you checked the sticky thread "ES300 ** Windows ** Hot Pictures" at all (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...ot-pics.html)? From experience wheel choice will come down (i) to your own taste; (ii) the colour of the car; (iii) the height of the car and (iv) what other external modifications you plan to do with it.

Wow, Your history is almost just like mine. I had a 2006 Scion tC, Then sold it for a fully loaded 2007 Camry SE V6, Then sold that for a 2002 ES300, then I bought my 05 ES330, had both for a while then sold the 02. haha

I can't get your link to work.

18" rims. not the best angle but gives you an idea...
**stock suspension on this car [for the moment
]
with 18" people loved the look of it*, it filled the wells perfectly and could not be happier with a near factory ride quality!
*probably becasue the rims do complement the look of the car well! :P
