hi guys ive been thinking about getting some new shoes for my gen 6 cam.. i wanna go OEM so my choices are LEXUS ES300 17 inch alloys and the crowd Favorite GS rims.. im planning to make them look flush like lammy's GS rims. and also i need to know your opinion about these tires. im planning to put 235/50/17 yokohama S drive tires. they are the best rated under 150 dollar tires that will go side by side with the potenza and the contitrack. what do you guys think? coz im getting about 1400 dollars on my tax refund and i want to spend that on wheels tires, springs and some other mods.

thanks in advance.

Give people a chance to wake up or get home from work. Your first post was at 3:16am EST. People who have a family to support are sleeping to only wake up 4-5 hours later to go to work. Your second post is at 10am EST. People are at work already and probably cant reply. Not everyone is glued to the computer 24/7

the yokohama s drives are pretty good and quiet. as for using the 235/50/17, that might make your wheel/tire's overall diameter bigger, throwing off your speedo. the stock SE size is 215/55/17. if you were to use 235, you would need to get 235/45/17, pretty much like what the stock acura tl has.

to make them flush completely you would need a 7mil spacer on the front and possibly 15 on the back.

on a side note, the g-spider mesh alloys look really nice. they are 18s and ive seen them on lowered gs and is sedans and it looks very classy.

i was playing call of duty online thats why i was still up! i work from 10-9 thats why when i get off work its really hard to sleep that early

nope, they call the es alloys as es alloys lol

the g-spider mesh rims are an oem optional upgrade to either the is, es, or gs.
they are 18"

just for clarifications:
these are the optional 17" e-sport wheels of lexus


these are the optional g-spider wheels
they are 18"

chroming is quite an expensive process, especially black chrome. I think a silver oem wheel would look good, but not the one you showed, the look too stock se-ish..

can never lose with gs, but I dont think it would be a bad idea to go with isx50 wheels
