I'm new to this site and a new lexus owner. I have a 1990 lexus es250 which from my understanding is completely rare. I got it with only 90k miles and completely stock. The ac still works too.

Not much action going on here, but welcome to the forums.

Welcome to CL. Yeah, have not seen any ES250s around. Think I saw your ES250 town bound, in front of the old Bobs Bigboy, last Thursday or Friday about 430-5. Unless there is another?

If it looked like it needed a paint job then yeah. It's 2 tone indigo metallic blue. Looks gray to me though

Toysled

Yeah, that is the car. I was at a stand still in traffic and saw your car opposite side traffic flying by and had a quick glance. I first thought what the heck is that since I thought the front end looked kinda like a 2nd gen Toyota Soarer and saw the "L" emblem on the trunk.

Yep. That's me. I can't wait to get it painted. I like the fact that it's rare and nobody can tell that it's a lexus until they actually look at it. I want to put rims on it and that's about it. The interior is pretty much mint condition

Repaint a good polishing of the headlights and some OEM Lexus rims with spacers will really set it off. I wouldn't go all crazy with suspension and aftermarket rims. Older cars have issues when you start changing stuff around especially if you're going to use as a daily driver.

It has the original lexus rims. But maybe a different set of rims from another lexus may fit with spacers.

Yep go for it! The 5 spoke 17" Wheels that the 2nd GS/IS300 shared would be nice!

tony808

What size tires would I have to use if I get 17's? It currently has the stock 195/60/15's

215/50/17 or 225/50/17 should work believe the stockies are 17x7.5 I saw a set for sale in the wheel & tire forum for $225.00
