Default What Style rims do you think look best on the SC

I'm not talking exact rims like company and model, but style, like 5 spoke (thin spokes or wide ones?), 6 spoke, Mesh style (BBS), Split 5 spoke, well you all know the types. I don't think I have really seen a wheel that when I see it on an SC that makes me think it matches the SC perfectly. So which one suits the SC's style best? Pics would help greatly too of course.

Thanks JimmyG

EDIT: also what kind of finish do you think is best?

I like mesh with a FAT lip in a staggered set up... as far as coloring goes- I would like to have gun metal with a polished lip... or maybe black with polished lip...

Multipiece 5-7 spoke or 18-20" mesh with a polished lip. Chrome only looks good on certain styles and brands, gawdy and cheap on others. If you're goin' for sporty, silver, gunmetal, or gold.

Default which rims look best?

No one can tell you which rims look best. Only people with issues would even try. They can tell you what looks good to them not to you. Wheels are like jewelry for the car. It's an individual taste thing. Personally, I like chrome 5-spoke wheels because even the sc is a luxury car at heart. If I had a Porsche, it would be silver with the deepest lip I could get.
Look at as many wheels as you can. There are many wheel websites. Go to wheel shops, take wheels out to your car and hold them up next to the car. You'll know when you find the right wheels.

By the way, I have some wheels and tires for sale. Look in the marketplace forum titled wheels for sale by reggiek. No pics but it's easy to find them on a yahoo search.

That's why I asked what do you think are the best wheels. Trying to see what other people think, while still searching for that perfect wheel for an SC in their responses.

But good post none the less

Odd number spoke wheels are good looking to the human eye, thus classic 5-spokes for example.

I like spokes or mesh, preferably staggered on the SC. 18s are great and 19s look perfect.
