Default Rim opinions

My stock rims are annoying me. I don't want to go bling, bigger and I wont be lowering the car.

Here's a OfferUp ad (sadly I can't copy the images and just post a pic...) of some flat black is250 rims. Never been a fan of black rims but I kinda like these and might go better with my red es300.

Opinions? Is it an upgrade? Worth $500 after I mount my tires? Here's a shot of my car...

They look very nice, but I really don't know how they would look on a Matador Red Mica ES. My gut feeling is they won't have the classy look of the stock rims. I think they have more of a sporty look. If that is your goal, then perhaps a good choice. Since you asked for opinions, I will say it wouldn't be my preference on that color. I would have chosen a different vehicle if I was going after a sporting look or driving character. Bottom line is really your opinion that counts so if you like it, go for it. They are sharp rims and look to be in good condition, and the price doesn't sound too bad. I am of course assuming they will fit OK but I'm sure others here can confirm that.

I felt the same way about the rims on my hybrid ES but over time they grew on me and I now like them. I do think the black rims would look good on your ES due to the dark tinted windows.
