I haven't seen or heard about them...I'll check them out...are they listed specifically as an ES 300 item? What do I search for?

SC430 rims sound like they'd look pretty sweet. I thought that they had the proper 45 offset, but I had been told by the dealer they were too wide to put on an ES (although I've seen other brands of 18" x 8" wheels on Tire Rack for the ES). Do you have any rubbing? Could you post some pics of the car with the SC rims?

yea...they were to wide on the back which really made me nervous but i put a 1/16 inch spacer and they are perfect. offset is beautiful..tucks right under the fender. they look really good and i'll post pics soon but some deceased deer from central NY put a nice dent in my hood so its at the shop right now. I'll get them soon though.

Hey now...that's actually not too hard to do. I hit a dead deer with my old 00 Civic Si on my way to HIN two years ago. I was following a group of my friends in their cars and everyone started swerving, but some of us just didn't make it in time. It managed to bust up my fiberglass body kit and throw deer guts through my rims. It also burned it's blood on my header and exhaust. Damn animal!!
