(damn! this is my second post)... my original write up just got deleted and i am thoroughly aggravated! anyway..... i was a bit reluctant to post this update due to the fact that i am not completed but, what the heck!!! i am one step closer to finally finishing the outside appearance of my sc. i had these wheels installed a few weeks ago and i must say that i am extremely pleased by the look these 19"iforged flux wheels gives my almost completed project. i admit that while these wheels were in my garage(awaiting calipers and rotors), i had no idea they would look as good as they do..imo. The look i wanted to acheive was a sporty but luxurious appearance without taking away from the sc's perfect symmetry. i think this rim(due to the style and finish)compliments my sc: ... rims are iforged flux 19 x8.5 Fand 19 x10 R wrapped in toyo proxies t1's, tire sizes are : 245 35 19' f and 275 30 19 R respectively. I ordered supra tt calipers w/ tt rotors,cross drilled and slotted adding axxis brake pads along with ss hoses to complete the wheel/tire upgrade. i also had lexus logos (in red)made to fit the calipers. The rear coilovers were adjusted to be .25" lower- i wanted to go lower in the front to complete the look but this is my limit... (curse these new york streets!!!! )
here are some teaser pics,until i can find the time to take pics in a better location: the first two pics were taken from Dgot20's and his "professionally enhanced atomic super digicam" w/ "perfectly calibrated nuclear tripod"...thanx d!
1) my new wallpaper

holy crap

dont think i've ever seen black rims on a black SC. i love the 97 OEM kit, wish i can get it now

nice job nextlevelcoupe!

btw, are those the dspeed clear sidemarkers? or modified stock sidemarkers?

 

note: these following pics where taken before the lowering of the rear coilovers...

.....it's been a long time coming but, here is the icing on my cake (outside appearance finisher http://www.*****************/products/lexus/sc1/R_full2/

 

Looks damn good!

 

wow.. that was some quick posting guys(while i was uploading pics).
thanx for the compliments.... those side markers are the originals with updated technology(led's) w/ dual function-turn signals(to work with my clk signal mirrors) and parking light function...(the light given off by this side marker is really bright and detailed!(i will have video of the operation soon...) details can be found here: http://www.*****************/products/lexus/sc1/F_smark/

Very clean. Nice job. I like all the details (lights) in addition to the wheels. I have to say, though, I'm not feeling the caliper stickers. I'm not against caliper stickers, just the ones you have don't look "right" and take away from an otherwise beautiful car.

BTW, what are the offsets on your wheels, especially the front ones?

 

beautiful!

 

your car is TIGHHT, that is one hot SC

 

Very VERY nice! I love the stealth look with all black.

 

Your SC is stunning, I love the black car, black rim look you got going on there!

 

Now that is PIMP dogg!! I love black on black, everythings flows nicely on the car. Good job mang. Hopefully I can see this in person.

EDIT: did you have the face of the rims painted?

 

it looks PIMP!

 

Car looks great man!! Have the same rims on my M3..they are great wheels and the quality is superb!

 

the caliper stickers are to be revised a soon as i can get my hands on another set of logos. i had these made due to the lack of availability at the time. i will be going for a triple black color like jacob t in the gs forum but with smaller, more precise red logos. i don't know what the offsets are but, i can get that info later..i do know that the fronts were made for a supra and the rears are for an sc.(hope that info helps somewhat).

no.... these are powdercoated in a glossy black finish.

thanx for the love guys!
