Default Help me with wheels!

Hello, I am new here and just purchased a 04 ES330. I am looking for some Chrome wheels to put on it. I am looking fo 18" to 20". Not really into the real "bling bling" look. I have looked at pics and searched and am looking for ideas.Thanks.

Cool

  • Go with chrome if you like it. There's a sizeable portion of the CL community here who's anti-chrome, but a lot of us still like it. Stick with your tastes!
  • Can't go wrong with:
    • 5-spoke
    • Mesh
    • Full-face
    • Dish-ness
    • Lip-ness
    • Clean and simple designs that compliment, not dominate, the clean sleek lines of the ES
  • Try to avoid:
    • Many/most "racing" designs
    • Busy
    • Over-designed
As I found out when I went wheel-shopping, most of the wheels available from the common sites and stores don't pass muster with the CL community. Here are some sites recommended to me that you might check out:
  • d2autosport.com (CL Sponsor - support 'em!)
  • victoria tire
  • wheelsnext.com
  • wheelmax.com
  • wheelguyz.com
  • 1010tires.com
Good luck and log your quest here in this thread.
