 Those are the best looking rims I've EVER seen on the 2nd generation es300.
They match the car very well

Yeah, I have had the potpies sitting in my garage for a few years now. I'm thinking of swapping them back on. I like the fact that I have the transformer option!!!

I liked the way your car looked so much I went with the same wheels. I bought a 99 es for my wife yesterday morning and made a three hour round trip in the afternoon to pick up the wheels. It looks much better now.

Wow the IS rims looks even better on your 99! I'm glad my car persuaded you to get the IS rims. Definitely an excellent choice for the ES!!!!
What size tires did you get?

Thanks, I'm very happy you posted you pictures.

The wheels had tires on them already and they are 215-45-17. I thought the ride would be rough on the pa roads but it's not bad. When it's time to replace the tires I think I'll go for 215-50-17.
Here is a picture right after I picked it up yesterday. It shows it with the old wheels and pinstripes.

Those is300 17"s look hot. They are very clean. So I don't see any is350 rims here does that mean i'll be the first to do them next week hopefully?

We've kept the ES around as a winter car (it's nice to have something that goes in the snow, lol) and this past summer I threw on the 17" wheels from my GS just to see what it would look like. I ended up taking them off the same day, but this will give you an idea of what they look like. My wife wants to VIP it, which isn't a bad idea, but it blows the whole winter thing, I guess it's time for an LX, lol. Anyway here you go. Not much different than the IS wheels.

Hi,
The IS offset is 50, not 45. Do we need spacers to put it one ES300?
Thanks,
