I had to order my 2013 ES and after all the preliminaries that were involved (Stock OEM 17's) right before signing I asked if they would throw in the 18's to seal the deal, and to my surprise, they did.
Remember now, you're not only replacing wheels, but tires also, so price will mount up.

Yea, its a "slammed" AVALON...which looks...Ghetto IMHO
I did see the guy who VIP'd his 2013 (or '14) ES350. Wheels out of camber would cause them to wear out twice as fast as correctly mounted.

Default Went with 19"s...

I'm not sure if I got the right wheel/tire combination...but everyone seems to like the look...ES300h with Niche Targa 19x8.5. Anthracite color really works well...

Just my opinion but If it were me I would lower it just a tad, and spacers on the rear if there was a budget. The wheel style looks good though.

As for wheels size, I would personally go with 20s because it it would compliment the current generation's ES body style.
