thirdmotion Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 What do you guys think about this wheel? Either a 20'' or a 19''.. http://www.d2autosport.com/wheels/lowenhar...ldrrepedge.html
93LSOwner Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 What color is your car? Black would look good with the black ones. But, they look nice. I like them.
steviej Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 sorry, but I think they look like rims for a truck. a 20" rim in that size is gonna give you a large chrome surface area. Work with Derrick at D2, tell him I sent you. He will go over some nice stuff that will look right on you ES. steviej.
thirdmotion Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 93LSOwner, I have a black. steviej, Derrick is helping me out with this! :D Derrick said the wheels will fit without any probs and he will make sure before he ships it. Do you think 20's are too big?
93LSOwner Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 93LSOwner, I have a black. ← What finish are you getting? 20's on an ES are too big? HECK YA, IMHO. I agree, when I first looked at them, I was thinking about if they would look better on SUVs.
thirdmotion Posted April 7, 2005 Author Posted April 7, 2005 93LSOwner, i want to get the chrome.. Check out this pic, (first pic) http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157666 That's the look im trying to go for...

Do you think 20's are too big? ← good, Derrick knows his stuff and is a friend of mine. personally, I think 20s on a pre-2002 ES will make it look like a mud-buggy or some kind of 4WD vehicle. Idefinately would not go with more than an 18 on the pre-2002 and 19 on a post-2002. Here is mine on 18s Keep in mind the damage issue. 20 inch rims will leave you little sidewall for the tires that you will be able to fit without flaring the fender. This means potholes and big iron road covers become you worst enemy and nightmare. Don't spend a lot of money for something that will be easily damaged. Go with an 18, drop the car an inch and be careful when driving on them. Lastly, I like the 5 spoke SEVAS the best of what you have showed. steviej
HoeBag Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 20s will fit with the right offset and width. just because theyll fit doesnt mean they will look good though. 19s would be the biggest i would go if you have a kit of some sort, 18s the biggest if you dont.
vcv10guy Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Both of the wheels look pretty nice, but I like the 5 spoke (the last pic you posted) ones more. I'm not too sure if black or chrome would look better on your ES probably chrome, but I would need to see a picture. I agree with the others, 19" at most, but 18" on pre 2002 body style would look nicer IMO. What size does the 5 spoke one come in?
thirdmotion Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 thanx for the feedback guys! Looks like I'm going to go with a 19'' 5 spoke wheel(last pic).

thirdmotion Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 no doubt, im also getting coilovers which will drop the car 2 inches... Can't wait!! :D
