Default Would these wheels look good on my ES300?

Hi guys - I am not interested in "slamming" my ES300 (I hate bling), but I think some different wheels would give it a more sporty look.

Do you think these wheels would look good on my black, '03 ES300?

I'm not a fan of chrome, and I like wheels with fewer spokes vs. a lot of spokes.

I personally don't like black or grey wheels,. It doesn't give a clean look to the car; from far it looks like alloys with brake dust on them lol

Those wheels are different width, front to rear. It's not recommended for FWD cars, because it will put more emphasis on the rear axle.

Ahh I see. I didn't know that. Makes sense since the IS is a RWD car. I just think the stock wheels on mine look a little "frumpy" -- I'd like something a little sportier.

I personally bought a set of 17" GS350 wheels, they look great.

my favorite lexus wheels have always been the LS400 big thick 5 spoke that look like the carlsons. In a 17 or 18 inch size. then run 215/45 tire. I have on my ES a set from the LS430. The F sport wheels dont give the ES any justic in terms of enhancing the smooth body lines.
