01es300 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I am looking at some factory chrome 16" wheels from a 93-94 SC 300/400 to put on my 01 es300. Does anyone know if they will fit ? I got to wondering about the front wheel/rear wheel drive thing ? I am sure the bolt pattern is the same though. Your thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexusk8 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Just a suggestion. How about the 16" 9-spoke factory rims from the '02-'04 ES? Although the rim size is 16 x 6.5", it fits perfect with the '01 ES (I have them on mine, see pics in my gallery). Only thing is that the '01 lug nuts will stick out further. This can be easily remedied by purchasing lug nuts for the '02-'04 ES wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01es300 Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 The reason that I am looking at these wheels is because I found someone that is selling them with almost new tires for pretty cheap............$400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy until a professional shop tests them to see if any are bent or damaged. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that I could have them all checked out though. What should I be looking for besides the obvious curb rash,dents, cracks, etc ? Does anyone know if they will fit for the front wheel drive es300. The seller has mentioned many times when we have exchanged emails to make sure I bring the cash with me though. Almost too many times to make me feel a little strange. We are about an hour and a half apart from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 have a shop check them for balance and run off. They will be able to tell if they are bent. however, your comment about being sure to bring cash.....walk away from this deal right now. If you do decide to go through with it, insist on a money order or bank check. That way you have a way to retrieve your funds should they turn out to be crap. Get everything in writing and agree on a "not satisfied buy back agreement". If he won't go for it, do take the deal. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
