Seriously poelexus, I hate to rag on your car but many of us make attempts at modifying with good taste. Taste can be subjective but if the majority is on the same page, it may be time to listen.

Those wheels fit fine on a Donk. They don't look appropriate on a clean, white ES350.

In the end you shouldn't worry too much what others say. If you like what you did that's all that matters.
But it doesn't hurt to try looking at what others think before writing them off.
Hello. How do I start a post?

Did you change your wheels? You took a lot of abuse for the older wheels previously.

But, I do like these wheels a lot better.

I like how your tires fill up the wheel well.

Did you lower the vehicle? I would like to reduce my gap without lowering the vehicle and affecting the ride too much.

But, I suppose that your low profile 22's would ride much more stiffer anyways.

What size are they? 235/30R22 ?

Do you have any clearance problems, or impacts to the ABS system, etc.? Is the acceleration noticeably slower (since you now have about a 5% increase in your wheel diameter)?

Thanks.

The rims are 22x8 tire size is 235/30R22. I didn't lower it and I have no rub or any problems to the ABS system etc. My acceleration is still good.
