Hey CL,

So I've been thinking bout this for a while, and got a question for you experienced L fellows. . .

You guys know of any Lexus rims that are:

1. 18" or more
2. Will fit on (and look good on) a 2001 ES300
3. Decently priced (planning on about 1000.00 budget-ish)


I'm not a fan of chrome (hate me if you want) - I'm more of a gunmetal grey kinda person. . .just looks better to me imo. . .

I saw some rims for an IS that looked splended, but I'm not one of those guys that knows much about wheel diameter and tire size and x/x/x sizes and low lying this and that if you catch my drift. . .would appreciate the help, and would appreciate some pictures of em if you can find em Thanks!!!

^ Is that my es you saw on he is rims? if so im new at all this to and there is a lot more involved in getting bigger rims then i at first though haha

lol I feel yah man. . .I went to a wheel shop down the road from me, and the dialogue was something like:

Me: "hey man, I was looking for some 18's or 19's to put on that gold ES 300 out there"

Salesman: "well we have quite a few. . .what tire and rim combo were you looking for?"

Me: ". . . . . . . ."

Salesman: "don't know much, huh?"

Me: "nope. . ."

Me: ". . . . . . .I'll come back. . . . . ."

Salesman: "okay. . ."



I really want to go sporty with this ES. . .not too sporty, but a hint here and there. . .I just can't go chrome. . .chrome is evil lol

xXTimmayXx

Oh yeah and nah man my buddy has a gorgeous IS with gunmetal alloys. . .they're beautiful. . .I want them so bad lol

Haha, the is rims look great on almost any es, and ya i dont understand it either. I am looking for a spacer now, but apparently there are so many spacers you need to avoid and so few you can buy

xXTimmayXx

I don't even know what a spacer is lol. . .

Well i guess i got the one up, even though i just learned what it was yesterday haha, it basically just gives you more room for wider tires

xXTimmayXx

hmmm. . .I see. . .so you're about one day ahead of me lol. . .

wider tires means room for wider rims as well i'm assuming. . .

or vice versa, or for more contact with the road for better handling. Only reason im getting them is because the tires on it are brand new goodyear eagle gt w-rated

xXTimmayXx

ooooo those sound expensive. . .

What do you want to know? You're asking the mist vague question you can... Then again it's not like we have a huge thread with various wheel & tire combos...

Hint: do a search
