they look like konig mp3s.. after i was playing need for speed unground 2, and got my 240 with konig mp3s, they were looking . i thought about buying similar wheels for the SC, but i dont know if they would go. depends on choice of opinion.. persoanllyi think the wheels are beautiful and unique, i am just concerned how they would look on an sc. if you have a luxury look, lets say an SC with a wald body kit, i dont think these wheels would work well.. on the other hand if you have an SC with an inspection body kit, i think they would look good. i dont know, i like the wheels, go for it! if they dont fit or you dont like them you can always sell them good luck

What I meant was that the wheels make the car seem to want to be too "JDM" which is imho a huge form of rice these days. Why bother trying to make your car look like it was from Japan? Big deal. I can see if the JDM stuff actually looked good, but trispokes are very early 90's and ricey even in Japan. Just my honest opinion after dealing with many customers wanting "JDM"-only things.
Ok, I get what you're saying. Makes sense to me

They looked good when I put them on my Soarer on Tokyo Extreme a few years back and they still look good whenever I play.

those wheels are classic. Advans...mmmmmmmmm. Problem is that they do NOT look good on the SC. On beefier sports cars, YES. On our SCs, NO.

Alright, i am seriously thinking of getting them, its really what i was looking for size wise and offset wise.
I think not everyone likes them here because they are not chrome???
And i am a JDM hoe since 1993, just look at my corolla in sig.

if you buy those, with 24mm offset, will you have to make any modifications to make them fit well?

they'll fit.....with lots of neg camber

I rocked 18X9 and 18X9.5 with a 17mm offset for 6 months and i loved the look

But you shouldn't buy these wheels. I SHOULD.

here's my agressive 17mm offset...

Noooooo, most of us don't like them because they don't look good on an SC. I don't like chrome rims personally, I prefer silver or polished. Chrome is too heavy. But it's your whip, our opinions don't really matter, get them if you like them...just don't expect me to like it too

I'm sorry to say, but tri-spoke wheels went out of style by the mid-90's. Wheels are suppose to be 5-spoke or more. Five arguably being the best. The fact that they're gold makes them even worse. Sorry, just being honest.

Well, then i am 90's kinda guy, i dont really like new designs of wheels. Even 18" Volks i have right now are old school. Someone offered me $1800 shipped for Volk GT-7's but i would prefer to get these Advans.
Dang it Mike, i want it you to like it.

1JZsoarer, thats exactly what i want to do, whole lot of negative camber, what are your suspension mods? Adjustable control arms?
I have Hipermax II and getting some JIC adjustable control arms and tie rods.
