OEM 14' IS350 18x8front 18x8.5rear


Looks better with center cap from original wheels


Front parking sensor and license plate need to be fixed, also would like to paint black on emblem to match body color and wrap the grill maybe to match rims but idk


smoke taillights with original rims



Another look with painted center caps

Painted center caps (starfire pearl)

I don't know how i feel about fogs


Original Rimes 18' quite damaged

1st day home
reminds me of my crafted line a little. I like the look. I never liked yellow fogs especially on luxury cars

Yahoo is your friend! Just purchased 2nd hand (Captain Obvious) 2014 ES350 and digging around for info on TPMS, especially as regards having two sets of rims/tires. Trying to find out if car has capability of registering both sets of transmitters at same time with selector switches or not and looking for any detailed manuals on the car online. Living in Western Canada just East of Rocky Mountains. (taking delivery in 3 days so unable to look for reset switch(es) at this time). Hit this site and connected for future reference/assistance.

The TPMS on the ES is only capable of storing information from one set of transmitters. Some here have worked around that limitation by buying second set of transmitters and having them cloned to be identical to the first set.

Good luck with the new-to-you ES.

Thanks lesz. All of the manuals were in the glove box (although they did not directly address my question). I've since spoken with a couple of acquaintances who have Lexus and they advise they just purchased a set of winter rims and ignore the orange TPMS warning light. Drove the car home yesterday (244 km) in a blasting cross-wind (50-60 kph front quartering "breeze" with drifting and melting snow) and it handles superbly, cruises comfortably at 110 kph and actually seems to have pulled quite good mileage (I'm guessing around 7 l/100km). Now to figure out that dang after-market security system it's got. One disappointment is the discovery of the 2-week idle battery leak situation...maybe install a power interrupter switch similar to what's used on boats and rvs for the "house batteries"?

My favorite color, and yes, those wheels look great on it. Much better than the factory ESh rims. I agree with the tint. I think it makes the Atomic Silver stand out even more, plus it reduces the heat and UV damage.
