Cool

A "2" here.
I like chrome but those are way too busy for the ES IMHO.
Mesh, dish or simple spoke design have looked the best thus far.

Does nothing to compliment the ES. Would give them a 2 as well. Bottom line, it is your car, so just rock what you like.

Gotta say 1.5 and not 1 because they are 18's and that is the best size for you es. But honestly they have no business on any lexus

I love modding ES's

But those rims dont say lexus, they say chevy or something with a bigger body.

Lexus needs more elegant rims that are more simpler.

I give em a 1
