Default New Shoes...

Ok I just put these on from a 2005 330. I was told that 3 rims have a slight warp. I can find no physical damage to them. So I took a chance and bought them for $100 a while back. I just bought a set of Michelins with 3-4k miles for $160. Cost me $60 to mount and balance and install on car. I drove her up to 75 mph and couldnt feel any problem. So I will now get a set of center caps for them. The rims are far from perfect up close but they really pop from any distance and look much better than stock.

Thanks friend, my issue now is what size are the caps for those optional rims? I think they are either 62 or 63mm... and I dont want to buy the wrong size.

Damn those things look great. And you have the RX looking damn good too. Only thing I would remove is the LED strips, but other than that,

I like them. So ES wheels will bolt right on with no spacers or clearance issues?

I have no idea about ES wheels. Mine are optional wheels from an 05 RX330.

I like the LED strips in the front. Where did you get these and where did you connect them?

I gotcha, was thinking you were talking about ES330 not RX330.

Thanks
