I couldn't be happier. It was well worth the wait, I hope these pics help someone. I looked and looked for weeks before choosing these.

20x8.5 all the way around.

Those look great! Okay I have a few questions if you don't mind.

1. Can you comment on the ride? Any difference?
2. What is the offset on that set of rims?
3. I've been shopping for rims, which I've never done before. How did you know how it would look? Did they mount a rim for you to look at?
4. What did you do with the stock rims and tires? Is there a market for those?

Good looking car.

Great choice! Clean, sporty, but still classy. I haven't seen those before.

Thanks, I love them more each day. Just a totally different car now.

The ride is not much different. You only notice when there is imperfections in the road. The tires just feel more stiff. But the handling is improved due to the wider tires.

The offset is +40. I always order my wheels through discount tire. They always match ebay prices and they make sure the **** fits first. This time, they didnt have the true offset specs since it was 2013 so they special ordered me a 2012 Lexus ES wheel with +40 offset and it was perfect.

As for seeing them on your car, the best way for me is to see pics like I just posted. The wheel companies have really nice pics but they are photoshopped like crazy. I also hate those virtual wheel things. Those are a terrible. You tube videos are also very helpful. Still some what photo shopped but not as bad. This one is what sold me on my wheels.

There is a market for the stock wheels. You can sell on Craigslist, Ebay or on this site under classified. You should find a buyer.

I took this one today. Thats my friends LS 600 HL. His car is huge. He has the 21's with the full body kit. His car was built for Sly Stallone in 2008. Retailed at $160k. He paid $71k for it 2 years ago. Sick! Damn thing has a 6pack cooler in the back arm rest

Damn! Those wheels look sexy! I can't believe the difference they made on your car. Do you have the regular ES350 or the hybrid?

The ES is such a sharp looking car. Can definitely hold its own next to the LS.

Hi,
I was admiring your car as well. I also have a few questions, if you don't mind me asking.
1) What kind of mileage change did you notice?
2) Do you know where these rims where manufactured? I really don't want to get to get something from China...a lot of these "nice" rims especially from Tirerack are from China and are uneven.
3) Did you feel the ride is a lot more harsher?, I'm not sure what kind of roads you encounter? Are you "Tracking" your car on weekends?

Thank you
