Arrow Pics of ES300 with 07 RX350 wheels

I just bought these 17" RX350 wheels and 215 50 17 Michelin tires. What do you guys think?

looks great!

definitely a nice 'OEM plus' look to it.

Calipers - black or silver on any Lexus/luxury car. RED FTL! & reserved for Honda's

Thanks. I had black calipers before and it looked like crap IMO that's why I got red. Plus, the red stands out more and gives you more to look at than just the wheels themselves.

I was when I had my 18s but now I don't want to because it looks alright now with the new wheels. Plus, instead of lowering it I'm putting the money towards another Lexus that I want to get

I've always wondered what these rims would look like on a 3ES. Looking good.

I agree with a black/silver brake caliper though.

Actually, I like the calipers...granted if the car was monotone it would probably look 10X better but not too shabby man!

These wheels look "OEM fresh" as my friend calls it. Very clean.


I think your calipers look clean too. Not just saying because mine are red... but I really do think it works for your car.

At a tire shop in Toronto. They painted it, put on the decals on, and clear coated it

I like the look a lot. The red looks good and I'm usually against it too.

I like the wheels, keeps the stock look to the car and keeps it clean.

But the ES300 brakes are just to small to bring that kind of attention to them. Like said before, I would go with black or silver on them.
