Question Rims?

I just have the stock, alloy(?) rims on my 97 ES300. After 14 years, they are looking a little sub-par. Can I get some suggestions of rims that tend to look good on my model? I'm thinking about reducing my tire size by about on inch as well, so I can put bigger rims on.

thanks guys

Hey there are lots of options out there. Heres where I would start in the sticky section https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...me-inside.html scroll down and there is 2 sections of interest. The aftermarket rim/oem link and the hot windom/es pics.. both have lots of pics.

The 16's from the es300 00-04 (two different styles) both look good on the es is you only want a rim an inch bigger then your current. If you want to get pacers and have a 17 inch rim the is300 rims look nice. If not, i believe you can run the 17's from either the es330 or 350 with out spacers, and both look very classy on the es300

I have been very interested in upgrading the 15" stockers on my 97 to ES330/ES350 wheels but have uncertain of fitment. Can someone confirm that 4th gen ES wheels will fit 3rd gen ES's without spacers?

Thanks in advance

I just got dropped some new rims on my GS430. There Ace Alloy Executives. Left my car with a really nice and clean look. I am just waiting to get some new low profile tires on them.

17" IS300 five spokers look great on the 97. You will need spacers however.
