19" Trafficstar ES300

got these babies on wednesday, and had them on same day.  this is proof to all those people/companies(no names mentioned) that said it wouldn't work. only required fender cutting/rolling and camber with my coilovers.

i hope that those show up, as i am having the hardest time uploading to the CL Gallery.  i just cant seem to figure it out.  o well.
so tell me what you think, i personally think it looks a little too DUB style for me, but let's see when my AutoCouture kit gets in.:cool: 
Thanks for looking.
Charley

Wow, nice fit!
I think they look really dub too but still classy and mostly, really intimidating!

Yeah Def..a nice rim but does look Dub style..I think on that size car 18's would hae looked more VIP..but none the less Bump for some nice WHeels....whats the offset looks real conservative?

nice!! they always say its not gonna work. thats what work and ame said about my wheel offsets. they just want to be conservative so it will fit with no problems

^^^
Yep.

Looking great, specs?

Those wheels are SEXY.   good choice!

they really arent that conservative, because the fronts are already maxed out camber.  check out my cardomain.com as AutoLuxLexES.  those should be a little better i guess.
Thanks
Charley

that looks great......cant wait to see it with the AC kit....


what are the specs on the wheelss?????

thanks man, honestly your car(gato) and the AC car had all the inspiration for me.  and that green vcv10 vip es300 gave me ambition to do better.  
so far i am happy but i am rubbing the crap outta my wheels. only the rears though and only when turning.  so my thoughts are to get new swaybar with new endlinks, as they are currently off the car.  and stiffen up the rear coils themselves.  then well go from there.  i believe that its because its rolling too much on the rears or just not stiff enough.
Thanks
Charley
btw, theyre 19x9

well, if you absolutly hate them, let me know when you decide to get rid of em, i may be interested!

no, i didnt say absolutely hate them.  man youre a funny guy.lol

I love those wheels, got the RiverSide Wallpaper on my computer...

DAMN, very clean ES.
But i agree with the others say. that wheel is huge.

The wheel may be large but the fitment is A+!!!!!

thanks man.  youre a stellar guy for saying that?  jk, thanks man.
Charley

Good choice on the RTV's. .  I personally like the black/polish combo.. but that will look real good when done. .


G.

love it bro love it... so u got 19 but u drop the baby or is that stock high. hmm just wanted to know if u wanted to give me ur screen name and we can talk cuz me and u got the windoms and we could help each other out

Great fitment IMO! I'm impressed! This gives me ideas for my dad's I30! 8)

I just saw the pics on car domain, the wheels look dope, good fit

thanks guys.  i have to give most respect to Freshalloy.com.  they taught me most everything i know suspension related since my 240sx was the first car i ever owned.  
no Pancakes. the a32/i30-35 was going to probably going to be my next project.  leaning more towards the i35.  i do like that car a lot. even the factory wheels are so dope.
i was heavily debating the black/polish combo as well.  but said screw it because there were already a few of them out there.  and dispised black wheels.  whats the point. black steelies would look the same.
VipWindom.  just pm me anytime dood.  ill help you out as much as possible.  btw, my car is an ES300.  Whats a Windom?jk.
Charley

we did a 19x9 on a windom a while ago, he is on auto couture kit too...

But your shit is dope too. . 


G.

any pics of his car?  i would love to see it.
Thanks
Charley

Nice fittement!  I have a few questions though.  I will be changing my wheels this winter and going alot more agressive on my ES, to do so I will need to remove the black trim pieces in the wheelwells.  When you did this and trimmed out the metal, how did you fasten the plastic inner liners again, since they are attached to the lip that needs to be removed? Good choice in color too!
[IMG]http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k56/ricewagon25/111296.jpg[/IMG]

dont you just love disproving the naysayers?

yeah, thats the ones i was talking about.  all the wheels that show up on searched are those wheels. i think.  o well. never been a fan of black on wheels.  but those are alright. 
for the wheel wells, they dont have anymore of the trim.  i dont believe its necessary at all.  but thats my opinion. yeah they get dirty in there, but just clean them, even though i havent yet and its been a year since i removed them.  btw, your car looks good.  are those 17's? 
Goodluck
Charley

so what are the offsets??

ok. fine fine.  i didnt plan on keeping my offset CONFIDENTIAL like some companies to make their customers.
the offsets are +23 all the way around.  i dont see going any higher or lower would work.  on struts you can go higher, but thats struts.  
Charley
i hope that this will help the rest of us fellow ES chassis for wheel fitments

nice offsets, no need in keeping those a secret. thats a step out there for the ES. anyone thinking of going that route is headed in the right direction.

[QUOTE=charley240sx;40755]  btw, your car looks good.  are those 17's?

Charley[/QUOTE]

Thanks, the wheels are 18x7.5 actually.  I'm trying to get into 18x9's this spring, thanks for the help by posting your offsets too, that'll make it much easier to get into some wider wheels.

ES300?Is that car RWd or FWD...I always thought that model Lex was based off the Camry, maybe Im wrong.Im in the market for a VIP car

it is basically the same chassis as a camry, different front end and taillights. that is what previous models were. 

To the OP the rims, yes, they are big, but the kit should fill it out, and proportion it better.

looks badass, love your es300

i had 19x9.5 +17 on the rear of my es300 lolz

so it is FWD?

[QUOTE=BigMone;41472]so it is FWD?[/QUOTE]

Same chassis as camry I believe.

yeah, fwd.  after my kit is all done, im moving back for a sports car. preferably another s14, but with market demands so high for those cars, i cant justify paying so much for it.
btw, 19*9.5 is way to big if you were previously coilovers.  but then again, your drop depends also.
