Default Saying goodbye to my SC430 rims

Just joking! Actually tomorrow morning, I'm putting the stocks back on for the winter and will toss the SC430 wheels back on in the spring of 06. For now, I'm looking forward to the original brisk acceleration and better gas milage of the stock Coach wheels but will miss the turn heads factor the SC wheels gave the ES. At least I get to keep the HIDs (retrofitted E46 ECE projectors) so all is not lost

Do you have a pic of your retrofit? Interested in how they look on the ES. Thanks

I don't know if I posted some new pics as I've fixed the spaced out cuttoff look a while back. However I'm getting ready to sell this set and begin on another one for myself soon. I'll be using a different set of projectors this time around

I have found that the SC430 wheels add in a substantial handling factor as well. It feels like I am on train tracks when I take a corner..
