Just wondering if anyone may have any pictures of these wheels on a car. Doesn't matter what car it is, just trying to get a picture that I could then use to model against my car.

The rims are called Starcorp Racing Mak 5. These ones I am looking at are only 16's, but there design when put on the car would make them look like 17's. This idea appeals to me. I think these rims would suit the ES because I am looking for a 5 spoke, but thick design wheel rather than the "thinner" spokes on most wheels these days (hope that makes sense).

As long as you can get a decent pic, as the one above, and get a decent pic of your car then drop down to the photoshop forum and ask someone if they can photoshop them on to your car. This will give you the best idea overall. I would suggest a side shot of your car if you use the pic above.

Thanks Trukn1. I photoshop most of the work I do on my car prior to doing it. I was just hoping someone had it on a car already, as it would mean with the picture above, that I would have to add the brake caliper and disc in.

No rim is going to make it look bigger than it is.
Especially on the ES you can easily tell its a small wheel... My 0.02 [from experience]
I have the stock 16" as winters, with a slightly smaller sidewall and you can tell its a 'smaller' wheel, mind you its on a 2001. Not sure as to what gen. you are driving?
And odds are of finding that particular rims picture on this side of the world is slim to none, i know my wheels and this is the first time i have heard that 'brand' and i am quite familiar with rims in Europe as well... [cousin is a bit of a wheel wh0re on his BMW's

I drive a 3rd Gen ES300. I used to have a set of IS300 rims on my SC that were chromed. From a distance they gave the illusion of being bigger, but that was probably due to it being chromed ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I actually don't mind my 15's (even though they are steelies) and they suit the car. Just want something bigger, but as I mentioned before I am finding it difficult to find something that I like that will suit the ES shape. I have been browsing the threads with aftermarket wheels and "Windom Pics" and only a couple of them I like (from a wheel perspective).
Wasn't sure if these wheels would be in the US / Canada, but thought someone may have come across them while browsing.
