Default New member, u like my car?

This is my 96 SC i got about 2 months ago, i put on the wheels, what do you think about them? Do they look good on my SC? I was thinking of getting a 2 inch lip in the rear. What you guys suggest i get next??

Slam it, and you've got yourself a clean car man

Yeah...those rims are GINORMAS. Looks pretty good though, yours is the first I've seen with biggins that have such a flat face (high offset) to them.

Nice car, but the rims look too big. Are those 21" rims?

I agree with the rest, those rims are HUGE!! IMO, u should've got smaller size rims and drop it and get some offset to those rims. But right now, it's looks alright, just needs a drop.

Car looks real clean, the full face wheels go nice with SC. Like everyone's mentioned, it needs a drop.

I took the liberty of doing a little photoshop to give you an idea.

Its funny, but the SC guys seem to go thru "phases" when new SC owners pop up like popcorn! Another guy just joined with a modded SC last week or so.

Car looks clean, question though. Do you have staggered tires on non-staggered wheels?

I actually think it may look better if the rims were powdercoated black and you got different rear tires, but that's just my opinion...clean car though...
