Default A new and lukewarm mod for my car.

I usually try and stick to the SC's "look" as much as i can. So when i found these in the classifieds, i decided to do it. My original '92 chrome stockers came off and in came these I really like them, and anyone looking to do a cheap mod that has an early SC should consider them.

Sorry, this pic with weird contrast and lighting is all you get until the sun comes up

They are '97 sc3 wheels.

Default As long as they are multiples of five....

10 or 5 spoke, I think they are both good-looking wheels, although it's too bad you lost the chrome when you swapped.

Do the 5 spokes provide enough clearance for a Supra or LS400 brake upgrade?

They actually are just as close as the 10 spokes are to the brakes, which looks to be 2 or 3mm clearance.
