Has anyone replaced their stock wheels?
Has anyone replaced their stock es350 wheels with upgraded Liquid Graphite wheels? The dealer wants a ridiculous $465 ea for these, but I have found similar wheels on the internet for much less, but they are listed for 2008 model.. I understand that the 08/09 upgraded oem wheels were a slightly different shade than the 2010 ones..
thanks..

I went to tire rack's web site and ordered the same 17" wheel size but in racing wheels which weigh less. I coupled the wheels along with 215/60R17 General Altimax HPs. Very little ride difference (i.e. noise, boyancy, nose dive) with the 60 series but the wheel tire combo weigh 10lbs less. 10lbs less of unsprung rotational mass at each wheel does translate into slightly better transmission shifting feel around town.
