i like the 7 spoke wheel option, but i'll place the 06 GS 430 rims on there to close the wheel gap and im sure the car will look sporty as well

Default 10 spoke wheel option

Anyone knows if the 10 spoke is ONLY available with UL package? Can you purchase the 10 spoke wheel separately with the PP package? any idea on price?

Only with the UL package.

Many people may get the UL package but want to trade for the standard 7-spoke wheels. For now the poll shows that the 7-spoke wheel is more popular than the 10-spoke (UL) wheels.

I would go with the seven spoke. It's simple, cleaner and less is more. It would be easier to clean also. Seven is also a lucky number. I would also get them chromed.

The multi spoke seems outdated. This is subjective either way you can't go wrong...

10 spoke for me as well, although I will be swapping them out for something larger and aftermarket in the near future.

I voted for the 7 spoke wheels.....but I wish I could change it to the 10 spoke wheels! After seeing them both in person at the dealer I definitely like them better.

Oh, did I mention that I bought a 350 with the ultra luxury package that was equipped with the 10 spoke wheels? I guess I'm prejudiced. heehee

Not being biased here since I have the 7-spoke wheel, but I thought the 7-spoke is more sporty looking.

I agree - the 7-spoke wheels should be easier to clean for obvious reasons.

However, the 10-spoke have a POLISHED finish and are a darker tint. It's just possible that they may not show dirt as quickly as the 7-spoke. On the other hand, getting into those narrow spaces to get the dirt out will certainly be a pain in the ****.

Probably six of one, half a dozen of the other.

If anyone wants to sell their 2007 ES350 factory rims on the West Coast (including AZ, NV, UT) as they want to go aftermarket and dispose of the originals.... please PM me

I'll be needing a second pair for Winter usage. Or I could swap the 10 spoke for regular use and use my 7 spoke for winter.

10 spoke for me.

The finish is really gorgeous. They scream "refined elegance."
