Default ES300 wheels

Hello! I am a new owner of a 95 SC300. The car came with gold
BBS wheels (not my style) and I was looking at chrome ES300
wheels to replace them. Although I have searched this forum at
length, I cannot find a picture of an SC300/400 with these wheels
on it. If any one has this setup, I would love to see them. Thanks
in advance for any help!

I wouldn't suggest using ES300 wheels. I don't think they would look right under an SC. These wheels are not as large as the stock SC wheels.

Go with GS3/400 and IS wheels, the 5 spoke ones, those are the best looking OEM ones IMO.

Yeah, go with the is wheels, thats waht I have and I like them. Only problem is that there is a big wheel well gap if the car isn't lowered.

Speaking of lowering...

Also, welcome to the club. Good to see another Louisianian on the boards!

One time i'd like to see a members request without everyone trying to convince him to do something different than what he want's.

Default ES300 wheels

Thanks O.L.T. my thoughts exactly. Although I think that the 9 spoke
ES300 wheels would look great on an SC (especially chrome against
a jade green body) I can see that I am in the minority as no one here
seems to agree with me. That's OK, all I was looking for was an example
by someone who has done this so I could confirm how I think they
would look. Even though I was not looking for opinions, I respect all
views given. Again, if anyone has these wheels on an SC I would love
to see it!

Hey man,

Hit up the photoshop area and ask someone to chop them onto your car.

The 9 spoke ES300 ones would look fine and better than the IS or GS wheels. The GS 5 spoke ones look a little out of place. The IS 5 spoke ones look fine. The tri spoke ES300 ones are just ugly. Just my .02
