Default Anyone try RX330 Wheels?

Hey guys, anyone here try fitting the RX330 wheels on a ES300? They're 18"x7" with a 35mm offset. My current ones have a 35mm ofset and are 18"x7.5" and fit fine. If these would fit, it would look very cool. See pic below.

i think the stock ES wheel is +38. That would look cool but an SUV wheel on a car? I dunno about that one. The bolt pattern is the same though 114.3x5 since it's an all Camry/ES derived chassis.

Since the RX330 came out I've been wanting to see those rims on the ES. Go for it!

I personally love the RX wheel and was actually considering it as I am still looking to purchase a set of 18's, although I am pretty set on the L-sportline model IV. Regardless, I think the RX wheel would look a little too beefy on an ES. It doesn't look bad in the pic provided but from other angles it looks pretty hefty; especially on the vehicle itself. If someone's got some time though, I'd love to see a photoshop!

i considered the wheel for a while... it would chop nicely (the chrome wheel) 215/40/18 would be a good tire size for it

I agree that the RX wheels would look pretty good on an ES, but to make the wheels look even more worthwhile, a lowered suspension setup is a must. Otherwise, we'd have an RX clone in our hands

When those first came out on the RX I thought about seeing about getting them. They kinda remind me of Kyle Harty's wheels (Mille Miglia Evo5, which I liked.).
