I thank all for your replies. I currently have 15" wheels which to me look dated, however, comfort of ride certainly outweighs appearance.

I have just purchased a 1997 ES300 with 15" wheels and am dissatisfied with the appearance. Any suggestions for me? I do not really want to go so large that there's discomfort in the ride but I ask club members 16" or 17"? In addition, I have a dilema. this is that my tires are shot and the change must be made quickly. The car currently has 73K on it and feels like it needs front end attention, this to be checked tommorow morning. I am older and do not wish extremes, but the current wheels really date the body style, I have read a couple of posts regarding change to 2002 or so IS300 wheels. Any replys would be appreciated.

I just purchased a 97 ES300 and wish to upgrade my wheels to 16 or 17 inches. I searched the FAQ and found little suggestion. I read a post regarding upgrade to IS300s with tire size of 215/50 wr17 tires. I would like hear some replies from club members having made wheel changes. I am a former wide lip fan and still somewhat hesitant to change to the flat spoke facing. Also, I ask, is 17 going to ruin my confort? I know there will be a reduction, however, I would like the help of those having made such a change. I am a first time Lexus owner Right now my 97 has 73K miles and may be due for struts, I believe I already feel too much on road irregularities. This will be addressed on short order, along with a check of the entire front end, ball joints, tie rods etc. I thank all that reply in advance, a decision must be made immediately since my present tires are perhaps beyond road worthy.
