i think it all depends on the year of the vehicle...

97-01 i think the best are 19" you get that big wheels and still have much room to pancake it to the floor. only problem is you completely sacrafice comfort for looks. i would go 18's for that harmony of sport feel and comfort.

02-present, i think 20's look the best. With all the bigger body style cars on the market to day i think its becoming more and more prevelent to see even bigger wheels. i think with such wide bodies today the 20s just set off the look. unfortunely with the larger the wheels, the smaller the tire, the less comfort and the more subject to rim abuse.

thats my two cents.

I'm still 18's all the way still lots of looks with even more comfort plus you don't pay out the a$$ for tires.

Contact Apex84, or MrMark here on the CL forums. Both of these guys are with High Society VIP (one of the vendors here n the forums). Just need to have an idea of what size and offset you are looking for.

I like 19's but they're a bit too big on the ES. I think 18's slammed would look great too.

17...because it fills up the wheel well just right (for the 1st gen es300) , without any mods...Just how it should have come from the factory.

i think that it depends on which years lex you have. like someone else stated. but for the vcv platform, i think 18's. and the car with the trafficstars is my car. it does look big( actually a lot like DUB) with the stock body panels as pictured above, but i have pictures with an AutoCouture bodykit, and it fills out more.
