Default New wheels for my car...... again

Well a little back story first; got my car back in September. It is my 1st SC300 and my 1st car away from the Honda scene. I never had big plans for it just so wheels and a drop since it's my daily. I just recently started putting more effort(AKA: Money) into it to see where I end up with it.

The car is far from done but just wanted to share my new wheel setup, even though I know this type of setup doesn't really seem to be popular here


Anyway here's some preliminary pics from my phone-








front poke-



rear poke-




New pics added 2/13-









Rims are Work Emitz Fins that I rebuilt. Sizes are 18x10+13ish and 18x12+2ish. Tires are 235/40 front and 255/40 rear,



Just keep it civil in here please






Edit: I know it's not everybody's taste but these are some of my favorite wheels ever made. The fronts have 3.5" lips and the rears have 5" lips-



Update: Got my car professionally detailed(claybar/buffed) and it brought a new life to the car. Gonna maybe add another inch to the front lips in the coming weeks and then I'll be done with these wheels and move onto a very special set of one-off Work wheels that I have cooking in the lab.

I just worked those darn fenders

I like where the fenders are, they flow into the sidewall of the tire-


What i really need is the ability to go .75"-1" lower, and maybe add another degree or 2 of camber, but my Tein SS are maxed out and I've add as much camber as I could with the stock adjusters





As for side shots I'll snap a few tomorrow

Love it! My sc400 is also my first car away from the Honda scene. I really like your cars style. Where did you find the hood bra?

It fits pretty good and I like that I still get to have a nice sidewall-

Thank you
I found the bra on craigslist, some 50 year old guy said it had been in his garage for the last 12 years or so.



To everyone else thank you for the compliments, I promise to have some side shots up tomorrow :beer:

As much as I hate to be a ****....the Honda streak still runs strong in you. And that's not a good thing. Not feelin' it.
