SC300 W/SC430 wheels ?
Im on the fence on this one. And im asking for any honest opinions or reviews here.
I have a black SC300 w HKS supra springs, so its low. Im looking for new wheels on a budget. And noticed some SC430 wheeels cheap. Theyre not my favorite wheels but ok without the big caps. But they seem like at least theylle fit right , and seem like they wont bend easy, and like i said theyre cheap. Anyone have any thoughts?

But ive decided it wasnt as good a deal as i thought, because no tires. Also ive been seeing lots of the TTs for sale for a while , and now that im seriously looking the selection is slim. But im sure some will come up pretty soon here.

I have those wheels on my car. I have both factory (disk) and accessory (star) shaped centercaps.
Accessory centercaps are better looking, more sporty. Those will go ageinst any good looking wheels outthere. Downsize is people steal those caps. Somebody stole one of mine just recently.
Those caps are very pricy at $500 plus and can be have only with sets of four.
Discs give more pimped look, but certainly turn the heads and do not hurt old SC look as the do SC430. They are cheap to replace and I have plenty spares.
People here pay to much attention to aestethics even if it hurts functionality. Most complains are from that angle. Truth about SC430 wheels they are highest quality replacement wheels aviable for our cars period.
Those are build strong for use with runflats. Offset is also managable on SC. Price allow to have spares in care of bending, I have two
As for TT wheels are 16`, nobody else uses 16`s on sport cars these days. It is a thing of the past. 18` Lo profile baby and you can forget other suspension upgrades. it will go like on rails

If you do most of your driving on bad city roads do not use them, well you do not need them really, so $300 a pop expense is hard to justify.
But if you do expressway driving almost exclusivly, like myself, those are tires you want. I recently was alarmed bu some rolling noise at highway speed, alround 70mph. Uppon arrival to the shop I found my left front tire with ZERO pressure. I can`t really say "flat", cause just by looking at it you can`t say. I was impressed. Highly recomanded to anybody...

IMO, it looks like hell. I don't even like them on the SC430.

Putting wider wheels on your car can make it handle better but bigger doesnt do anything ... Are you sure your ASE master tech certified?
SC430 wheels= highest quality replacements available???? The offsets are no where near where they are supposed to be
