Default Another es300 on 22's sighted!!!!

i'm seriously considering 22's for the summer. if i can find out ho to make sure they wont poke out.this one looks way better than the last one i posted. i dont think he got a lower offset wheel because the wheels are not poking out. but im wondering if he used coilovers since the wheel sits in the fender. i truly like this one.its got to be another way other than coilovers because those things are too high.

Sorry but not only does that look ridiculous, you are going to destroy your car.

The 2ES was not built for anything close to that size, 18s is pushing it. Anything over that will give you tons of trouble.

Not only that but why but some big, fancy, huge wheels on a car that is NOT a big car nor a big body car. It destroys the car.

Wheels ACCENT the ride, they are not the main part.

Imagine wearing a black suit, with bright red ugly sneakers.

Hey, was that you laughin' at me the other nite down at the Sizzler?!?

I am in full agreement, those just look whack!?! Unless it's for bling-bling promotional use (ie. photo-shoot, import/industry show, etc'...) they just don't belong!

Cool

Ugly.
Stick to 18's. If you want it to look bigger... Paint your tires silver.

22's are way to big 18's are nice, 19's nicer, but 20+ is pushing it. The first pic though looked alright but it probably would've matched better with smaller wheels, hey prove us wrong and it might look good

Default Ugly

Take their advice. DO NOT DO IT. Not only will it damage the car, but it looks bad.

Big rims mean big money..big WASTE of money

you could have gotten like 2 or 3 sets of the auto couture supreme BR's...they're frickin badass, 18 or 19's would be prefered but thats just my slice of the apple. Other people have different unique ideas, but this is the one unique idea everyone thinks is just totally unecessary
