I know its gonna be a little bit before I mount these bad boys, but I can't resist showing them off seeing as how I got my inspirations from this board. First a big THANK YOU to Will(GS4Will), Derrick (D2-AUTOSPORT), Bob (SoCalSC4), and many others for their input on this purchase. Will spent quite a long time explaining everything to me, patiently answering my questions, doing some major leg work overseas to get what I was looking for. I couldn't have gotten these babies without his help.

Now....before people gets antsy and start posting "This thread is worthless without pictures"....lets get this started slowly =).....

don't you just love teasers =P..........

Hmm....close up of shipping box....anybody want to venture a guess what these babies are? I'm sure you can figure out if you did a search on me =).....

tonytony

Here are they out of the box after inventory check.....

tonytony

=) Can you tell what these are now?

I think the name "Wald" says it all that you're going for the VIP look on the ES, right? Man put those bad boys on already!

I remember how it is when I had my "teaser" wheel thread a couple months ago. Way hard to get over the anticipation

nice wheels, kinda dissapointed you got 18s though

Thx all for comments, here are they in all its glory. They are just sitting in my living room, staring back at me, tempting me at every second to mount these suckers. If I hadn't purchased my tires for them already, I would have already been in the shop this past weekend getting them put on. But I KNOW that the weather is not gonna be permitting me this joy/luxury right now. I will have to wait out the winter and parts of spring before I can get it done. I really can't wait to see how it turns out =). At least the wait time will let me get my other ducks in a row to knock down...lets see.. 1" drop maybe, new single tone from my original dual-tone color (still undecided about this one), ICE...=)

And when I got my car...all I though I would be doing is adding tint =)

More...

Last until I mount them =P

LOL....I knew somebody would say this =) I don't mind 18s, I really think 19 or 20 would be too "crazy" for an ES. When I think of 19s or 20s, the thing that comes to mind is "Holy Hell! Would you look at that!", where as the 18s, I'm more like "Sweeeet...check that out.." =) Yes, I know...I'm weird like that. I considered 19s, but I went that route, I might as well gone to 20s and I definitely didn't want 20s. Availability of tires and big holes in the ground assisted with that decision, as well as the fact that I really want to retain some of the legendary lexus ride comfort.

Besides, if I went with 19s, I should have just gone with these puppies https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=124707

I appreciate the candor and the conversion effort, maybe for my next ride *ahem*LS*ahem....i'll move up =)
