Hi,

My new 2023 ES300H, this color has grown on me, suits the old man vibes of the car, the 17's also provide a truly magic ride.

Beautiful car! I also have 17” wheels on my 2021 350 ES. Ride is marvelous but looks are inferior to the 18” and 19” wheels. Is it worth it for the great ride?

LOL, I've fully embraced the old man stage of life when I passed on the sporty IS and went for the roomy, squishy ES. And it was the right decision! What color is that, Moonbeam?

I think 17's suit this car, although the UL wheels look nothing short of perfection, I'm glad I have the quietest, softest configuration of the ES available (acoustic glass + noise cancelling + 17's), also the Michelin Primacy 3 ST tires that come installed are *chefs kiss.

The color is Moonbeam (but here Australia they call it Ice Ecru), I was surprised how much the color changes depending on light, I assume many of Lexus' colors do that, I recently found out there is both Mica and Metallic pigment in this paint, sometimes it looks plain silver (in the shade), sometimes silver with gold flake (very classy), sometimes pale gold/champagne (not exactly exciting), and in our bright Australian sun it looks a very unique brassy gold (I will have to try capture this on camera at some point).

Below the paint in its second form, silver with a gold sheen, note the old Mazda parked in the background which has a more traditional Champagne color, and how much better this Moonbeam is.

Wow, you just described the characteristics of the Atomic Silver, and my sentiments on it, exactly.

Are the 17s noise cancelling or am i missing something? i'm not saying the 17s aren't quieter than actual 18" noise cancelling UL wheels (and i'm not saying they are either-i don't know) but just curious what the noise cancelling is referring to?

Exactly. My Atomic Silver (photo a few posts above) look and react just as you’re describing. Wonderful color. Shame they discontinued it for ES 350 in 2023.

PS I’d love the 350 IS Infra Red to become available in the 8 Gen ES 350!
