Thumbs up

Go with the Enkeis; they look good in chrome, and kinda subtle yet aggressive when you see them rolling in action. steviej has them in 18s on his '02 ES, as shown in the picture attached. I'm sure Steve will post better pictures of the wheels

word of caution, mount a tire that has reinforced sidewalls and stay away from the potholes.
I'm running 235/45-18s and they hit when I got two people in the back and I go over a bump.
Other than that, I get lots of looks.

even though the pics were kinda hard to work with, this should give you idea of clear corners and wheels

Wow, that crop looks really good. I'm also getting a 1.6F 1.5R intrax drop. So i think it will make the rims huge like frank white's lexus. Here is a pic
