Default ES 350 on 22 inch Dubs

Just thought I'd take a minute to show my fellow lexus lovers it can be done!

Just because it can, doesn't mean it should.

Sorry, not feeling it. As long as you like it that's all that matters.

In this case i have to agree. The size is not even teh issue as much as the design of the wheel. I'm not a 22" on smaller cars fan, but if you must then bag it and a nice wheel design.

This is only my opinion, if thats your car then you obviously just spent a nice sum of money on it, so enjoy it regardless of whats posted here!

Default Cheap hubcaps?

You're looking at 22 inch DUB FLOATERS... 1500 dollars EACH RIM WITHOUT THE RUBBER! Besides a small loss of pick up, I've not noticed any change in ride quality. And someone pointed out that these rims on this car dont go together... thats the point. I wanted to stand out from the croud of lexus' on small lux/race rims like asanti's. Thought I'd give it a personal touch! Love it or hate it I still appreciate the comments!

Glad to hear that you're okay with the comments. You achieved the goal of standing out. Not many will want to copy what you've done...at least not many clublexus members. After seeing your pics, I saw an ES350 on 22's and thought about you. Maybe you're right, this might be okay for lot's of people in south florida. Maybe time for me to leave. Haha!

BTW, how much a wheel cost doesn't automatically put it in the category of being hot.

I love the rims but its the combination of the color of the car and rims that dont go together well. If that was a black car with tinted windows those rims would rock!

$6K invested in just the wheels! Add in the cost of tires, and you're probably near 20% of the value of the car. Make sure you have good locks on 'em.

You must mean $1500 a set. I've seen prices of cheap chrome big 20/22 inch wheels from no name brands drop like flies.

No way $1500 a wheel. You could have gotten almost ANY wheel for that price.

Not going to comment on the car. Glad you like it
