What Color ES300h ?
Since the Lexus website is not updated, what color do you guys think is the best?
My past three cars have been black, so I was leaning black.
But I'm really digging the silver. And what wheels are these? Much nicer than the ones on veh I drove.

Well, since that is a ES300h (and silver, which I have coming), there is only one wheel from the factory and no options. I suppose that they could have swapped for the photo op, but probably not. The accessories specify, in each case, that the shown wheels are available for the ES350, but only the standard for the ES300h. I'm only guessing that the dealer would probably make an exception, but as far as I know, it wouldn't be a factory or standard option.

Those are the 18" wheels that come with the UL package. Those aren't the wheels that were on the ES300h I drove (those wheels were far less attractive, I suppose they were the ones on the car the OP drove).
Colors are tough for this car, I like the silver, I like the nebula grey...

Otherwise, you can probably deal with the dealer. As a disclaimer, my comments are referencing Lexus data. Who knows what might show up! I agree that the displayed wheels are a little better looking, but I tend towards the 17", for thier characteristics.

There are a few colors for the ES that IMHO just don't look good on a luxury car (I won't mention them for risk of offending club members who might have purchased said color).
On the ES you can never go wrong with black, silver or grey. I think that black is the best, but is an absolute horror to keep clean (speaking from experience). Silver shows dirt less than most any other color and is a great choice, but I didn't like it as much as the black. I chose the Nebula Grey with the black interior as kind of a compromise. It's a great color choice for a great-looking vehicle.
