Default 20" Wheels

I will post better pics tomorrow, after the weather clears up and I can wash it. As you can tell from the pics, dark grey, tinted windows, blacked out front grille, and black rims. I drove around today (all city) for a bit and still got my normal 35mpg range. The wheels are about 5lbs heavier than the stock, as went for lighter wheels. What do you all think?

Congratulations! I like them. I also like the blacked out grill. Now you have to get rid of the 'Hybrid' badges.

Questions: Did you black out your fog light bezels? Is your car lowered? What type of 'L' center caps are you getting? (say chrome). And did your wife yell at you like my wife did when I got my rims?

" What do you all think? "

Sorry, but I don't like the Black grill or the large Black rims at all.
My guess is less than 5% of 2013 Lexus owners would like that setup.

Don't know about that. This generation ES has got some younger buyers, including me.

Yes to the fog light bezels. No, but if I lower it, it will not be super low (just enough to add to the agressive look). Because I'm getting a 3D vinyl sticker to place over the wheel's brand cap they were inexpensive, so I got two different kinds and I will figure out which looks best (Black with chrome L & Black with chrome L and the blue outline). And, no wife to yell. I'm a young guy...lol.

Looks good. I worry too much about mpg to change the wheels. But looks good

I was worried too. Right now everything seems to be the same, but I also went with the lightest wheels in my budget (which are only slightly heavier than the stock wheels).
