AFTER!! 17's off a '07 ES350. 215/55. I think it looks awesome! I also got a great deal on them.

I...LOVE....THAT!!!! Where did you get them from? I was thinking of getting some IS300 rims for my Camry (same color) but those look really good. I wish somebody could Photoshop your rims onto my car. Looks gorgeous.

Thanks guys! Thinner would look better but I don't want to give up the comfort.
I found them on Craigslist. They were a take-off. The guy said he put 20's on his 350. Wish I could have seen that! The car wasn't there when I picked them up. $450.00 for everything and the tires are brand new.

Excuse me did you say gross??? I like my stock chrome rims... They might not be "sick", "wicked", "hot" or even "tight" but they are not gross!!!

Looking good on the 17's.

As for photoshop onto your car ryannel200, it basically would look the same.
