Too much surface area on the wheel. SC's look good with wheels that have large gaps in them, like thin spoke wheels or 5 stars with a lot of gap inbetween them.

I have those wheels on my car and they look great. (Not pimped chromed though)
I had my doubts at first cause they look quite bad at SC430, but hey anything look bad on 430 cause it damn ugly car.
Oryginaly I was thinking of getting new style centercaps and just having "flying discs" temporary. But realasing how good car look with them and how well is received by other people I`m going to keep them as is.
Offset on those is 45mm I think, they fill fenderwells very good. Hi speed handling is also outstanding. Plus it is Toyota quality oryginal wheel, if anybody cares...

Wheels are identical. Just center caps are different. As a matter of fact I can tell you that new 05 cars arrive from factory with both sets of centercaps, disc and spoke type. Owner decides which one he wants to have mounted...

No rust problem here. You can pull suspension bolts looking like new after 12 years.
Sun is the problem though. It mean repainting car every five years or so plus interior gets beating too.
There is `lots of cars with mold damage (stinkers) due to unrepaired water leaks.

Reggiek, Thanks for posting the picture, Mine is an identical red 95 with 5 spoke GS400 rims. I'm sure glad I put on what I did because the 430 rims make it look like a pimp would be in the car..... Now if he had some of his ladies standing around it, my eyes wouldn't be distracted by ugly wheels. of course it's only MHO....
