$600 for wheels and tires is a steep challenge, but at least you realize the truth of the matter.

i recommend saving up until you have enough flexibility to buy wheels you really like and the right tire sizes.

 

what dna said, however if you meant $600 for just wheels then there are some other options. XXRwheels.com

 

I had 19 x 9 and 19 x 10 wheels on my IS. I just returned my car to stock though. Here are some pics...

I think the spec is good for "No-Fender-Mod-Required" but it is skew to conservative side.

For the style, it is up to the owner. But that is not my type.

 

well, the flower petal shape is kinda nice, but doesn't look too good as a wheel :/

 

LFA Reps
19.8.5 F +38 19 x 9.5 R +45
they go about $700 + on ebay You can get it in black, hyper black, gun metal, or the standard finish
I just ordered a set from

1) Will these work on a 2003 ES300?
The website does not list the ES as an option.

2) Aren't 18's better than 19's since tires are more expensive for 19's than they are for 18's?

Thank you.

 

Great info here I'm in the same boat
