GB's ES330

What about Royal Purple synthetic oil? Has anyone used it? I use it for my 2002 F-150 and I am ready to do my first oil change on my 2004 ES330. Anyone?

Hello Everyone, Basically, I need some good advice from someone who has experience in adding aftermarket wheels to a new model ES330 / ES300. I have a 2004 ES330 and I am considering adding some nice wheels. I will most likely be ordering them online and have a local tire shop mount and install them, since I have yet to find a style I like from local stores. So what I am really concerned about is getting the nicest looking rims and tires, (dimensions wise), that have total clearance, with no modifications whatsoever, no effects on breaking and without sacrificing the smooth ride or performance of the stock 16” wheels. This is important because I don't want to have to deal with sending them back, paying for shipping, etc. It is my past experience that an online wheel dealer will tell you anything will fit to get you to buy their wheels, only to find out they don't fit perfectly, then you have to send them back, at a big cost for shipping and handling. I really don’t know what size rims and tires would look the best on my car, (20"x8", 19"x8", 19"x7.5", etc.), and I really don’t see a lot of 330’s or late model 300's on the street with aftermarket wheels, in order to get some ideas of what looks best. My dealer said 19”x8" rims are the biggest size that I can go with, without sacrificing on the smooth ride and handling. Others tell me that I can install 20”x8.5" rims, but I don’t know about that one. That seems pretty big. If anyone has any wheel and appropriate tire size suggestions for my car, please let me know. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks very much.

I got my brand new 2004 last month for $31,000 out the door. I'm sure you can do better than that with the 2005's coming in. My dealer, (JM Lexus in So. FL), has a 2005 in the showroom already with hundreds of 04's in the back lot. The 2005 wood is lighter than my 2004 cherry wood. The transmissions are smoother in 2004 than previous years also.
