Default TSW Silverstone wheels

18" x 8" / 5 x 114.3 / +40

Has a 1.25" lip.

Not your 20's or 22's, but these suit me just fine.

Off to get them mounted.

Will post again when they're mounted and the ES has had a bath.

Yeah, 18's are perfect for the ES. Can't wait to see them mounted!

Decided to use the Lexus center cap vs the TSW center cap.

Perfect fit.

Now I'm off to the car wash.

Car wash?

Take some pic's of the whole car when you're back. Looking at one wheel doesn't really show much.

Best I can do without firing up the DSLR.

I'm very pleased with the look.

Yes, very nice look!

You didn't change tires? I'll probably do that before anything. Not a big fan of the Bridgestones.

I'll put some Michelin's on in the next few weeks.

I'll put the Bridgestone's back on the stock wheels and then sell them.

I like them a lot better than the factory rims; a clean look. Now, have you considered lowering your car?

No drop for me.

I like the car as it is.

Totally agree. That would take away from what the ES is all about.
