Do you mean rear spoiler or rear bumper/rear lip?

Also I will be painting my Calibers soon..They will be blue.

Since putting on the rims I have gotten a lot more attention which is good I guess but everyone wants to race me know, It is kinda funny...Anyway here are some picts..




Resurrecting this thread because I have some questions.
1) I love your wheels. The price was right and they look sharp as heck.
My question is how have they treated you? At that price my main concern would be the quality. If I am paying all this money for wheels, I want to make sure that they don't crack, break or bend.
I do not race my car around. I just use it for normal driving and the occasional trip from Arizona to Cali so I know I will not be putting undue stress on the rims. With that kind of driving and the normal bumps on the road will these rims be fine if I buy them?

2) Will these rims 18x8.5's work on a 2003 ES300? That is my car and I want to put 18's on them but do not want to make any suspension modifications. No spacers, no changing fender liners etc etc.
I am not sure if the offset and bolt pattern would work for a 2003 ES300.

Please do let me know.

Apart from that, I absolutely love your set up bro. It is beautiful to put it mildly.

Everything looks great, I think. Understated & clean!

I was wondering about the wheels, too. Are the wheels the same size & offset front to back? What about tire sizes?
