Default What wheels should I get?

I have a Millenium Silver ES330 from 2004 very well maintained...

I'm thinking about upgrading my wheels to something fancy...any suggestions?

Would like to keep to below $3K for wheels and tires if possible. I'm thinking silver or chrome might work on my car (interior is black leather and dark walnut trim).

thats a good amount for a nice set of wheels....

but what do you like?

are you more into a nice five star? maybe a monoblock style? or even a multi spoke, like a mesh?

whats your style? so we can give you some suggestions

Chrome is best. I recomend 17's to 18's. Motegi MR-7 Chromes are nice.

you can get em for $490 + s&h @ Rim1.com but the tires are separate.

Good suggestions...I like probably a simpler, classic look with fewer spokes so cleaning is not too tricky.

I like monoblocks but they may be too "heavy" looking for me for the ES.

Oh yea, I once had TSW EVO chrome rims on my 93 ES coach ed. They look similar to the wheels that I just posted. The thing I noticed was that my car stood out a lot. There were a lot of haters and they put dents into my car. I was really mad but I knew that it "looked better than the rest." But now I have the stock alloy rims on, no one touches it. Stupid haters...
