Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has the 2013 ES350 rims on their 2007-2012. I'm looking to buy some online, but was hoping to get a picture or two or some opinions. I was told these 18's would fit perfectly and flush? Can anyone verify that?

I appreciate yalls help.

I got confirmation from a fellow ES350 driver that these rims do fit on the 2007 - 2013 model.

I'm fairly happy with how they look. What do yall think?

What a huge difference in the appearance of your ES. I have 2012 starfire pearl as well. I just cannot look at my car now without thinking how much better it would look with those O.E. 18" wheels. I am not a fan of the black chrome look of the Ultra Luxury package wheels. I have thought about having my wheels refinished to remove this dull look, maybe polished like the older ultra lux wheels were. I just replaced my O.E. tires with Michelin Primacy mxv 4 at only 5,000 miles. I wish you had made this post last month before getting the new tires. Hate to admit it, but damn I'm envious of your upgrade. What size tires are on the 18" 2013 wheels?

is who I bought the rims from. Great company and customer service. I definitely recommend them.

rhkII: P225/45R18 I was expecting the ride to be more rough compared to the 17" Luxury rims I had, but it rides the same and is still smooth and quiet. Sorry for not posting this sooner, but maybe you can do the upgrade after your run down your new Primacy's. You will be very please with the look and ride. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy your Primacys? Just an FYI to everyone that Discount Tire does match online prices. Just show them the link on your phone and they'll match it. I saved myself $180.

I got the mxv4 Primacy from Michelin, with the dealers assistance. Michelin offered to replace with Michelins, adjusting for time and mileage. The mxv s8 was like a thrill ride in the wet and last winter in the snow. I just decided to add to the Michelin allowance and lose the O.E. tire.

These are the wheels that came with the car





Same car with the 2014 UL wheels sitting on Yokohamas they feel so much better

I have disagreed with the Big O Tires employee because he says I should put 225/50 R18 but that will only increase the diameter of the original tire. I am almost sure that I should install a 225/45 R18 because I think it will work better. What do you tell me about it? They help me?

I did a +2 "upgrade" on my wife's Avalon years ago, before we got our 2011 ES. I was younger then and loved the improved handling, and didn't mind the rougher ride. However, after three different incidences of damaged wheels due to road hazards, I was sorry I went +2. Perhaps +1 is the sweet spot and I've considered it for her ES, but once bit, twice shy. I recently bought new tires and wheels for my SC430 and actually went -1 to improve the ride. I gave up a little in flat cornering, but got a tremendous benefit in ride comfort. Like everything...it's always a trade off.

They look good, although busy. They look hard to keep clean.
