Cool Rohana wheels 20"...#1 Stunner!!!

I would first like to thank Rob Forman (rob@signatureperformancetirewheel.com) of Signature Performance Tire & Wheel in Orange County, CA. His shop provides excellent service and does high quality work. Rob got all the details done right so the wheels turned out just like I wanted. I spent countless hours looking at various wheels, tires, & set-ups before I pulled the trigger on these. Special shout out to LexRuger and Sessionstu. And here they are:

Riddle me this: What makes my ES300h different than the others?

Could it be the wheels?

Looks good though. Congrats.

Those rims are very nice looking! Congrats!

BTW... one thing I noticed... Your 300h does not have the "Hybrid" logo on the two passenger doors AND you have a "Lexus" logo on the left side of your trunk, opposite side of the ES300h logo. I have the "Hybrid" logo but do not have the "Lexus" logo the left side of the trunk.

Did Lexus change the design of the cars at some point, or did you do this mod yourself?

Just curious!

Looks nice, although it doesn't look like they're 20"ers, maybe it's because the wheel well in this car is so big. What are the tire dimensions?

GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR; good eye.

I thought the wheels would distract eyes away from the 'LEXUS' badge on the trunk.

I took the 'HYBRID' badges off today before I put the wheels on. I had the technician (that installed my clear bra) put the 'LEXUS' badge on. This was one of the first mods to the car. I just felt the car wasn't balanced in the back...if that makes any sense. Of course, the China and Russian versions get the 'LEXUS' badge from the factory.

The tires are 245/35-20.

Looks good, but simply put LOWER IT! I like how they didn't put the exhaust on the hybrid but I think it works with the ES not the GS which I really dislike.

The car looks amazing! I love those wheels. If you can lower it a little it will be even better.

Is that trunk spoiler factory?

Thanks.

The spoiler is factory; they're standard on the hybrid models.

The car's screaming for a drop now since I put the wheels on. I don't think there's a suspension tuner making anything for these cars yet. But, I'll only consider coilovers if and when a quality set is released to the market. And I just want to lower it a little (just to close the gap) not slam it.

Very nice indeed. Classy. Those wheels go perfectly with the exterior color.

Now you've got me thinking about those Hybrid logos. They may be coming off...

Thanks.

The wheels are color matched to my car. Pictures really can't capture the details on these wheels...Rohana did a very good job on the design.

I meant to take the 'Hybrid' emblem off shortly after I took delivery of my car. It felt right when I finally took them off. I had an Audi that I de-badged leaving only the 4-rings ...it looked sweet.

nice wheel choice... looks very good. it's strange how they added the trunk spoiler on the 300H and not the 350.

Looks good! Reminds me of the TSW Jerez wheels. How much do they weigh?
