Y'all may or may not notice how I'm a shutterbug around here...but i do admit that it's rare for me to find an ES worth taking a pic of (fixed up, rare, etc.)...but lately, like in the past week or so, I've had a slew of ES's come my way so here you go!


first one...just rims

meZoom!

i guess this is a stock rim but i almost NEVER see this rim around here....is it something they threw on on out-of-California ESs?

now this one....had quad pipes and lookalike LD1s with a lexus "L" sticker (?) center cap.

You're right Rena. That's a special yet rare stock rim Lexus put in their 1st-gen ES Coach Edition packages (although I think the '96 model is the only one that comes with that). Seeing those rims in chrome form is especially rare, but I suspect that must be aftermarket chromed (correct me if I'm wrong). At any rate, here's a pic of my '96 ES Coach Edition with the same rims, except in polished form.

I really like the chrome rims on the first 02-03 ES. I believe these may be available directly from TireRacK.

Hhhhhmmmmmm

I think the Coach rims could be chromed from the factory, along with the regular design wheels for that model. It was an expensive option, around $1800 IIRC. The '94 ES300 Anniverssary Edition had wheels which were similar in design, but painted off-white (opal).

The one on the newer model look great. But I like bigger ones. The look very similar to the Niche TITAN. I think that's what it was.

Nabeel beat me to it, those wheels first appeared on the 94 Anniversary Edition. Someone on here has a 94 Anniversary with those rims chrome, not sure if the rims had been chromed by a shop.

His name was Josh. I forgot his screen name on this board. He lived in CA. Hasn't posted in a long time now, maybe about 6-8 months.

I was thinking the rims on the 02-03 were AT Italia Inox 's. Actually, I was kind of hoping they were cause I think that is what I am going to get. I will look into Niche, though.

Please clue me in about Niche Titans.

Where are they sold and who manufacturers them.
I searched on Niche, Niche Titans, etc on Google and found nothing. I will post this guestion in Wheels Tires Forum, too.

Took a trip to the dealership today to pick up an owner's manual, and I found this '97-'99 ES with Alloy Tech 17s. I'll let the pictures do the talking now...
