Default Spinning Rims Es300 1994

I'm not sure if they make spinning rims in 18's because I think anything above 18" won't really fit my car without modifications. I was wondering does anyone know a good site or place i could get them? I'm not sure by size but looks like from the other posts that 18x7.5 with a 43 offset is the best fit? I have no clue what the offset or anything is. Please help.

Just my opinion, I don't think spinning rims belong on the ES, nor any Lexus sedans and coupes..

Spinners look the best on 4 runners and Suv's.

Just my 2 cents

Besides the fact that I'm not a fan of the "add-on" spinners, I think your biggest issue would be offset, for example in the wheel size you listed, a add on spinner would stick out 2-3inches past the rim!! I dont know if Davin makes a 18" application, but it would be very costly!!

Its your ride my man, do whatever makes you happy! If you do add on spinners just watch the curbs!

Please don't.... Especially on an ES, or any other Lexus, or nice car in general... Those are so played out... I just don't like them

I personally don't think spinners belong on an ES, and I don't think add on spinners belong on anything; but I have a feeling you wouldn't be able to do it anyway. The front calipers allow almost no room for a lip, so the spinners would be sticking out like D said, definitely wouldn't look good.

Not only watch out for the curbs as D stated, watch out for your life...

PLEASE STOP listen to Rap. PLEASE STOP watching MTV Cribs. PLEASE STOP the madness.

1994 ES300...try some RH Evolutions, Mille Miglia, Moda, Speedline Corse, etc..

If you want to step up in quality but not a crazy amount in price, get some SSR...there are also some Work and Rays wheels that aren't horribly expensive...

LOL manaray. I saw two Lexus cars with spinners last weekend, 1 ES and 1 LS. The LS had them sticking out 2-3 in. past the rim like DGOT said, and one of the spinners didn't work so even though he was going 70-80mph the thing wasn't spinning. Of course he had done no other mods to the car, either. We know how to do it in TX ya'll.
