Does anyone happen to have a picture of their car on 18's at stock height or better yet on the stock SPORT stance? It would be much appreciated. I found some 18's, but do not want to lower my car....I dont want to look like I am off roading...... I have a 06 black/black sport edition is350 ML...
Thank you in advance!!!

Also I noticed that some 18's seem to fill the whole wheel space area and seem bigger than others. But in some other cases 18's seem to look like 16's. Is that primarily because of dropping the car? or is it also because of car size? (ES vs IS etc)
Thank you.

It has a lot to do with the style of the rim too, rims that are full faced (it the spoke almost look like they touch the tire) will visually look bigger while rims like mine (and the pictures above in this page) who have half an inch or more of metal lip circling the tire before it gets to the spoke will visually make the rim look smaller.
Also using thin tires will make your rim look bigger visually, the opposite is true with thicker tires. There are a few guys using 18 full face type rims and super thin tired that at first glance looks like 19".

Your car looks gorgeous. Man that white, contrasted with the reflection of lights at night makes the car pop. Beautiful.
