New Rims!!!
These are just shots with the rims on today, though they won't be on tommorow. I am sending one of the rims of to get replated, also this is without the lowering springs which I intend to buy before putting them back on.

rims
The rims are mht v-10's. They are true three piece rims. There on ecsta kumho 225 40/zr/18's. These rims are either 18 by 7 or 7.5. I don't remember. I do fully intend on getting the eibach 1 inch lowering springs in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the reply mcv20.

what other rims are you consider.. since you are not keeping it..?
believe me..... 1 inch drop is not enough for an ES....but if you still want to keep the comfort.. go for it...
mine was drop with kg/mm springs it drop 40mm Front and 30mm rear.. which is about 1.6 F and 1.3-1.4 Rear.. i think it is still not enough for this kind of big sedan....and i believe .. a quart more inch(1.8) on the front would be perfect.....not too low..and not too high( just above the tires)...
check out my pic/site that i post...on other thread... you can see how much wheel gap that i still have with 1.6 drop...

not keeping it??
I'm going to keep the rims, I'm just going to send one off to get the chrome re-done. I don't want to go anything more than 1 inch because I like how the car rides, but if I can't stand the wheel gap after dropping it, than I would reconsider dropping it more.
