Thanks for the input guys! I am getting a ton of questions from people that see it on the streets.
Kenny they are 20's, I was very skeptical to put wheels on that big since I had 19's on my 03ES and they totaly rubbed with extra weight or big dips but the wheel well is so much bigger on these that there is plenty of clearance.

I don't understand - wouldn't 20" wheels/tires drag the mpg down and. if so. why would you do that to a hybrid - you should have just bought the ES 350! And, no, I don't think they enhance the look of the car.

My tastes are more on the conservative side, so those wheels wouldn't be for me. But the only one you have to please is yourself, so if you're happy then I'm happy for you.
I do think that the wheels are a nice match for the color of your car.

To each their own, Im very Happy with it. Yes you are correct it will change the MPG slightly, im guessing 2-4MPG. But im coming from this Escalade that got 11MPG on 2,000 miles a month driving. I got 35.6MPG the first tank after the wheels so I am fine with it.

Like someone stated above: we can all express an opinion and it really doesn't matter what I think or others think - it's your money and you are the only one that counts (as far as opinions on your car are concerned)!
