Thanks.

I have no idea how much they weigh. But, they're heavy because I put them on the car. And it's going to be quite a job rotating them

Are the 20s heavier than the stock? And, what is your mpg? I ask because I was close to buying some all Black 20s for my own, but they are about 7 pounds heavier per wheel, which made me worry about the power it takes to turn wheels, mpg, etc. Any thoughts?

Cast wheels (stock wheels) are pretty heavy. So, any aftermarket cast wheel in larger diameter would be even heavier. If weight is a big concern, I'd look into getting a 1 piece forged wheel. Forged wheels are the lightest type of wheel. But a set of 20s would cost a few grand.

Check out www.adv1wheels.com. It has a list that tells you how much their wheels weigh.

I like it. My only suggestion would be to replace the plastic license plate frame with one of your own. I think a solid black, brushed metal, or chrome one would both get rid of the advertising and enhance the appearance of your car for minimal cost.

Yes, as stated those wheels are heavier than stock. With every inch increase you can expect to see a .1 increase in 0-60 time, and a slight decrease in MPG. Not a huge difference in a car like the ES.

As stated earlier, your mpg will decrease. Before the switch, my average mpg was approximately 35.2 mpg. Now, my average mpg is approximately 34.7 mpg; keep in mind this is mostly highway. But somehow, to me it seems the loss is greater...I haven't figured that out yet.

You know, I never even thought about the license plate frame. But it would be a quick, cheap mod that would enhance that area. I will definitely be searching for the right one. Thanks for the tip.

These are the best wheels I've seen on the 300h so far. Wondering if you could answer a few questions.
1. How much did the whole package cost, wheels and tires?
2. How many miles do you estimate these tires will go before replacement (15-20K)?
Thanks.

Are you still able to read your tire pressure from the inside panel as opposed to using a tire pressure gauge?

1) Please contact Rob Forman for package prices; tell him I sent you.
2) I don't know the replacement mileage for these tires.
3) No, the tire pressure no longer shows in my display; Rob is working on correcting this. The TPMS sensors are Pilot.
