Wondering if anyone could recommend any good "THICK" 5 star chrome rims in 17 or 18 inch that would fit an ES?

Prefer something south of $2,000.

OZ Opera's go to the OZ site, they have some on clearance. Or check the classifieds here, lots of wheels for sale. Stay away from Ebay, mostly knockoffs and I don't really trust that I am getting legit, unbent wheels from a perfect stranger.

O.Z. Opera's are the wheels I plan on putting on my ES when the weather warms up. Check out this chop GSTrance did for me on a black '96 (identical to my car). They come in one or two piece, silver or chrome.

i have the OZ Vela 3 piece, i like them a lot. I just wish i got the 18x10 for the rear so i could have a bigger lip, but those were almost 1000 each.

Wow, those OZ rims look impressive, but not really what I'm looking for.

I really like the Kruz Atlas rim. They are 18x8.5, but I do not know the offset.



1. Would these rims fit the ES without rubbing?
2. What tire size would work?
3. What is the reputation of Kruz

I know Ghetto-pimp has these rims on his ES.
Below is a pic of the rims, and then a pic of the rims on ghetto-pimp's car.

Ideally, I would want a rim without the "circles":
