The centercaps do extend out to the lugs. I suppose it is possible that they are aftermarket wheels but they look like they should be stock almost (or some type of premium wheel package)
I also assume that the previous owner may have had the wheels chrome plated assuming they were originally alloys.
But maybe these are just special "Anniversary edition" wheels that saw very limited production?

I looked on eBay and didnt see anything close to my rims for sale.
I bet there has to be someplace where you could get them but it seems like they are really rare to come by so your chances probably aren't that great.

For whoever brought it up, the wheels are factory, I'm 100 percent sure. I've seen other '94 ES anniversary editions with the same exact wheels, except they had the factory alloy/silver painted finish. The most discernable difference between these wheels and the wheels on the coach edition ES (like blux's sweet ride 
) is that the coach edition's wheels have a polished finish. By the way, I think Josh's ES looks niiiiice

Oh yeah, they can't be old LS wheels either because the standard LS wheels are 16 inch from '93-onward. The wheels on Josh's ES look like 15s, like the rest of the ES cars. The only style LS wheels that were 15-inch were on the '90-'92 cars, but did not look anything like the wheels on Josh's car. They were the same as the stock wheels on an ES250, I believe.

cool.
Thanks for clearing up that they are indeed stock rims but perhaps chrome plated by the previous owner.
They are small rims and I am almost positive they are 15's
Nabeel do you know what the difference between the regular and Anniversary edition ES is? (just color and rims?)
and thanks again for the compliments...

Yeah we definately have the same style rims just that mine are chrome. You car looks really nice and definately very clean.
So were those rims part of the coach edition or were they a seperate option for the car?

blux's rims were a part of the Coach edition package, which also included speacial leather and extra wood trim inside, as well as a set of Coach baggage that came in the car's trunk when new.
I think the Anniversary Edition's special equipment was limited to wheels and paint, but I'm not that sure. I think all Anniversary editions must have been fully equipped w/ all the regular options though. It's probably the most rare type of ES out there, I hardly ever see them on the road, and there are tons of ESs in my city.
The wheels for both cars are probably the same, except the Anniversary edition had an alloy/silver painted finish when new (kinda hard to describe) and the Coach car had the polished versions.
