Default 02 ES300 Rims on a 00 Model?

Would a 2002 ES300 Rims on a 200 model look nice? A guy at my location selling set (4) wheels for 200 bucks.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you think they'd look good then go for it, just make sure that in the end you're happy and glad you spent the money.

I used to have VR-4 3000GT and I had 4 or 5 sets of wheels I got cheap (either through donor cars before I junked them or otherwise). In the end I liked the stock ones best and the others just took up space in my garage.

someone on here had a set in the 'aftermarket wheel & tire' thread. IIRC they bolted up.

Pretty sure its the same specs as the 00 ones. Something like 16x6 ET45 [which is oem 00 wheel specs btw]

I had two similar angled pictures of each of my ES's so I did a quick photoshop to give you an idea of how it would look;

I did this and liked the look. I had to add spacers however.

This was on a 97 ES.

I was looking at a set of the same wheels pictured abovefor my 97 ES. Wasn't sure about the fitment due to the FWD RWD difference. What size spacers would be necessary to run 4th gen wheels on a 3rd gen ES?
